A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, wearing an orange saffron robe, a red vibhuti or kumkum mark on his forehead, and a thick garland of yellow marigolds and red roses. Behind him stands a deity murti with a crown and garlands, flanked by tall golden lamp stands. Several devotees in white and one in a patterned orange-and-gold garment raise oil lamps and aarti flames toward him from the foreground. The scene looks like a puja or aarti offering. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and saffron robes, which are the appearance cues associated with the label a person, though this is based on appearance alone.
