A seated man in an ornate gold throne with red cushions receives a ritual, his hands pressed together in namaskar. He wears an orange robe and multiple flower garlands in orange and white, with a white garland draped across his chest. In front, a standing attendant in an orange robe and a long dark braid holds a flame, a lit oil lamp, over offerings of fruit and flowers on a small table. Seated devotees in white and green saris and dhotis, some with hands folded, surround the throne on a carpeted floor beneath a yellow canopy. Golden lion figures flank the throne. The appearance of the seated man in orange and garlands, on a throne with honour, is consistent with the page's identification and gives a probable match, with the cues of orange robe, garlands and ornate throne. A digital screen and a fan sit nearby.
