A photograph inside a temple of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha-style bead necklace and matching bead armband, a light beaded headband, and white ash markings on the forehead and arms. He sits on a gold-carved throne with red cushioning, reaching out with one hand over a small gold-coloured vessel, while a woman in a white sari with gold jewellery stands behind, and a man in a white shirt and dark trousers stands at right with his hands together. A devotee's head is visible in the foreground, and a deity shrine with gold lamps appears in the background. Visible cues on the seated figure are consistent with the appearance-based candidate, so the label is probable.
