A seated man in an orange-red saffron dhoti and wrap sits on a gilded golden throne flanked by carved golden lion heads. He wears a long rudraksha mala with ceremonial gold pendants, gold bangles and a gold armlet, with a white vertical mark on his forehead. Behind him a wall of garlands in yellow, white, magenta, purple and green flowers frames the throne. Brass oil lamps with lit flames stand beside him, and a second figure in an orange turban sits on a throne to the right. Offerings and brass vessels sit on a tray in the lower right. The image is a photo of a seated spiritual teacher in a ceremonial setting. The appearance-based label is probable; the throne, garlands and saffron clothing are the cues.
