A seated figure in orange robes and a matching orange turban sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion heads, hands pressed together in namaste, a purple-and-white flower garland around his neck. Around him on the floor, devotees sit in a semicircle: a woman in a red sari, women in white with yellow shawls, and men in white and dark shirts, several holding small brass lamps or offerings. A puja tray with fruit, sweets and a water bottle lies to the left, and a tent-like hall with draped fabric and windows frames the scene. Appearance-based label: a person, seated in orange on the throne, though the candidate is uncertain from appearance alone. Devotees appear to be performing a padapuja or darshan.
