A seated figure on an ornate gilded throne in a dark stone shrine niche, wearing a red-orange turban, long dark hair, gold and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, and a red-orange shawl, raising one hand in blessing. Three devotees in red-orange robes kneel around the throne, one holding a lit oil lamp toward the seated figure, another tending lamps at the right. Hanging brass oil lamps, bells and dark beaded strands surround the niche, and a painted deity image stands at the right edge. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, a turban and ceremonial gold necklaces, consistent with a person presence; the page does not confirm his presence at this event, so identity is uncertain.
