A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-brown robes, wearing a white crown with a silver finial and a long garland of white jasmine and red roses. A shirtless man with a rudraksha mala and a white dhoti stands behind him with hands folded. A woman in a cream saree with gold border offers fruit from a basket at lower left, and a woman in a white saree and gold jewellery stands at upper right. Several devotees bow or sit around in the orange-draped room, with a white cloth-covered table of offerings in front and a fan at left. The page does not state the seated figure is a person, and the appearance cues are not distinctive enough to confirm it, so the role is given as a seated person receiving devotees.
