A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange turban with gold ornaments, wearing heavy gold necklaces, bangles and an armband, smiling as he reaches toward a golden vessel. A bare-chested devotee kneels before him with hands cupped, receiving or offering from the golden bowl, while fruit and food are set in front. Behind them, white-clad attendants in saffron-trimmed dhotis, one with a rudraksha mala, sit or stand before a gold-carved throne, a red curtain, a brass oil lamp and a pedestal fan. The appearance of the seated figure is consistent with the a person cues: orange turban, saffron garments and ornate gold jewellery, placed on a throne during a ritual offering.
