A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on a rug before an ornate golden throne-like dais. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, a rudraksha mala, and a large gold pendant necklace, with tripundra markings on his forehead, and raises one hand in a gesture of blessing. Behind him a gilded arched backdrop frames a seated figure flanked by two others, adorned with jewelled garlands and elaborate gold ornaments, with a tall trident-like staff in front. Brass oil lamps stand on either side, and golden lion sculptures sit at the foot of the dais. The setting is richly decorated with gold-painted carvings of animals and figures.

At centre a seated man in orange-brown robes with a rudraksha mala and a tilak sits before a large golden deity murti with a crown and a cobra hood, flanked by smaller figures. The man has long dark hair and his hands are joined in a gesture of greeting. A brass oil lamp stands at the left edge, a trident-like staff rests beside him, and a brass kalasha or lamp sits at the lower right on a patterned mat. The seated figure is presented as a person by appearance cues such as long hair, orange-brown clothing and a rudraksha mala, though the image is uncertain.2017-04-30 +1 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +1 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30A seated man in a saffron-brown robe with a rudraksha mala and a long necklace sits in front of an ornate golden shrine-like stage.
