A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, wearing an orange-saffron garment, a long gold-and-beaded garland and a dark cord around his neck, smiling as he holds up a small object. In front of him a standing man in a white dhoti with gold border and bare upper torso, a dark beaded rudraksha-style band on his upper arm and wrist, offers a sweet or prasad on a plate. A woman in orange at left holds a tray. Silver deity murti figures stand on a shelf behind, with a brass bowl, tray of food offerings and a silver-edged table in the foreground, and information panels on the red wall. The seated figure has distinctive saffron clothing, gold garland and throne cues, but identity is not established from appearance alone; three people are visible.

Two women in orange and red saris stand at a draped table holding silver trays and brass bowls, while a bearded man in a white kurta with an orange-red shawl offers a plate. A woman in white with red-beaded necklace stands at the right edge, and a figure in white with a saffron-coloured shawl is at the far left. A white deity murti and a painted backdrop of red walls and framed displays appear behind them, with petals scattered on the table. The seated man has a distinctive shaved-head appearance and orange-saffron clothing typical of the a person candidate, but cues are not sufficiently distinctive to confirm identity, so this is unsure.2015-10-26 +1 copiesOctober 26 20152015-10-26 +1 copiesOctober 26 20152015-10-26 +1 copiesA seated man in saffron-orange robes and a gold beaded necklace sits on an ornate gold throne with a large golden back, extending his hand to offer something to an older man in a checked short-sleeved shirt and orange shawl who bows forward to receive it.
