A seated figure in an orange robe and a multicoloured floral garland sits on a white throne-like chair as a crowd presses in around her. Devotees with folded hands and palms joined in greeting stand close, including a man in a grey shirt holding her hand and a woman in a yellow shawl behind. Nearby stands a tray of rudraksha malas, fruit and sweets, and a bowl. Orange-clad and white-clad devotees fill the room. Whether the seated figure is the a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so the identity is left unsure.
