A seated man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange-saffron wrap, a brown beaded mala and ornate gold necklaces and bangles, sitting on an ornate gold throne with leopard-print cushions. He places a hand on the head of a devotee kneeling before him. Around them, women in white saris with gold borders and white headbands stand in a line, some reaching toward him with hands folded, within a ceremonial hall with gold and red decor.
