A seated man in a maroon silk kurta and white dhoti sits on an ornate gold throne decorated with white, yellow and pink flower garlands, under a flower-wreathed golden umbrella. He wears a cream turban with a red bindi and a long pink-and-red garland, and has bare feet resting on a white draped platform scattered with rose petals. A kneeling devotee in a white shirt and khaki trousers, with a gold bracelet, presses his palm to the seated man's forehead in a blessing gesture. Behind them, an orange-robed attendant kneels, and a woman in a white sari with an orange border holds prayer hands and a rudraksha mala. A white pedestal fan and a multicolour tasselled canopy appear at the left edge against a dark curtain backdrop. A candidate matching the throne-seated figure has a turban and maroon robes, but the appearance cues are insufficient to confirm identity.
