Seated figure at the centre on a low golden-framed throne beneath a tiered red and orange canopy with fringed tassels, flanked by silver tridents, axes and staffs and red-and-gold ornamental banners. The seated figure wears a saffron-orange robe, a multi-strand bead necklace and has a shaved head. Around him, men in white ritual clothes with orange and red shawls hold the staffs, and a woman in a red-and-gold shawl holds an offering of fruit. Seated devotees in white, red, orange and grey clothing face the central figure in a satsang or darshan gathering inside a stone-walled temple hall. The seated figure matches the appearance cues of a person, with saffron robes and ornate bead necklaces, so the seated figure is recorded as a probable candidate in person.
