A seated man with short dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead sits with palms pressed together in namaste and eyes closed. He wears an orange-saffron robe and a long white jasmine garland with green leaves, plus a rudraksha-style necklace near the garland. Behind him is an ornate gold and red velvet throne with carved lion-like finials, and a red-and-gold pillar backdrop. In front, a tray holds fruit, a water bottle and sweets, and gold lion statues flank the seat. Appearance-based label: a person, seated in person on the throne, receiving the welcome of the Kartikai Brahmotsavam event.
