A seated man in a rust-orange robe sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne with carved silver armrests, one hand resting on a tall silver trishul staff beside him. Behind him are a silver vessel and a small silver urn on the table. A large crowd of seated devotees fills the hall in front of him, mostly women in saris and men in white and yellow, and an electric fan stands in the foreground. A candidate matching a person by orange robe, long swept-back hair and the throne setting is probable; the figure is seated at a distance and the face is not clearly visible. Over 100 people are visible across the hall, though the count is approximate given the crowd depth.
