Centre frame, a seated man in saffron-orange robes and a white flower garland sits on an ornate golden throne with a golden halo-like backrest and a leopard-print cushion, behind a golden kalasha-decorated arch. Below, a woman in orange robes with long dreadlocked hair holds a microphone and sits on the floor at left, while two seated devotees in white dhotis, one bare-chested with sacred thread, perform a puja near the throne. Brass lamps and a small golden lion sculpture sit on the floor.

Two devotees kneel before him at a golden vessel: one in white clothes, one in an orange sari. Two large painted deity statues with crowns, tridents and gold jewellery flank the throne in a temple-style hall. In the foreground two women in orange saris speak into microphones, partly cut off by the frame. The seated man is a person candidate: saffron-red robe, golden ornaments and a throne setting, but his face and hair are not distinct enough to be certain.2017-08-02May 12 20172017-05-12 +1 copiesSeptember 03 20172017-09-03August 02 20172017-08-02A photograph inside an ornate temple hall with painted pillars and colourful side figures. A seated man in saffron-red robes and a white-and-pink flower garland sits on a large gilded throne with tiger-skin cushions and lion figures, beneath hanging bells and chains. Before him kneels a long-haired figure in orange robes, while a man in white clothes sits beside them at the base of the throne, and a shaved-headed attendant in orange with an orange head cloth stands at left, facing the throne. Two multi-armed painted deity statues flank the scene. This appears to be a padapuja ritual. The seated figure's identity is not established from appearance cues, so he is described by role only.2017-09-12August 09 20172017-08-09September 02 20172017-09-02September 08 20172017-09-08 +2 copiesSeptember 12 20172017-09-12
