A seated man in a rust-red turban and matching red-brown robe, adorned with yellow lemon-like beads, pink flower garlands, gold ornaments and rudraksha bracelets, raises his right palm in blessing on a gold-backed throne. Before him a devotee in a white dhoti and white shirt with a red-orange printed shawl bends forward, while a man beside the throne holds a microphone and papers. Behind, women in red-orange and white saris sit in attendance. Puja items including marigold garlands, a brass vessel and a coconut lie at the base of the seat, and a palanquin-style throne frames the scene. The seated man has long swept-back hair, a crown-like turban and rudraksha adornments, which is consistent with a person presence on the throne; the identity is uncertain.
