A seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne wears a rust-orange garment over his shoulders, a large rudraksha mala of brown beads draped around his neck, and white sacred ash with a red bindi on his forehead. He touches his cheek with one hand while the other rests near a silver tray of yellow rice-based food. Behind him, a man in white ritual clothes and a hairnet sits beside steel bowls in a hall with fans and a plain wall.
