A seated man in orange saffron robes sits on a gold-and-red throne decorated with red and yellow flowers and white garland, with bare feet visible. Several devotees bend forward to honour him: a woman in a green blouse and grey sari holds a red offering, a woman in white with a long braid stands at left, and men in white shirts and light trousers bow near the throne. A mirrored backdrop with gold swan motifs frames the scene. The seated figure has a red tilak on his forehead; the appearance-based cues are saffron robes and throne, with the page stating he is present, so the identity is probable but not certain. Other visible people are devotees in white and green clothing.2009-07-11June 14 20092009-06-14
