A seated long-haired figure in reddish-orange robes and a rudraksha mala with a gold ornament sits on a brown leather throne, smiling and gesturing toward a standing man in white dhoti and turban who joins his palms in namaste. The seated figure wears a gold-and-saffron necklace and a sacred ash/tilak mark on the forehead; a shaved-headed attendant in saffron stands behind, and a younger monk in saffron with rudraksha beads sits near a wooden stand holding green bananas as offering. Other men in shirts watch from the left against a wood-panelled hall. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, saffron robes, rudraksha and gold adornments, so an appearance-based label applies: a person, seated in person receiving devotion.
