A man seated on a golden throne with red cushions and garlands of red, yellow and green flowers wears a yellow robe, a gold necklace and a rudraksha-style mala, and is the central figure; the page flags him as a person, but the appearance cues are not distinctive enough to confirm, so he is described by role only. Around him on an orange and purple mat, about two dozen seated devotees in white dhotis and shawls, saffron-striped cloths and saris listen; several sit with hands folded in anjali.
