Indoor ritual scene in a dark slate-tiled room with a brick wall and a wall-mounted air conditioner. A man seated on an ornate gold throne with lion-carved armrests and a leopard-print cushion wears a maroon-and-gold turban, a long pink-and-white flower garland, and a gold bracelet; he is smiling toward the right. A young boy in a saffron-coloured cloth and bare chest holds a small silver cup toward the seated figure. Across a low table covered with a gold cloth sit devotees in white and cream clothes with white vibhuti marks on their foreheads, including a man in a white shawl and a woman in a white sari. Silver plates of flowers, brass oil lamps and bells hang above the scene.

On the left, a man in a red-orange turban and a white-and-pink flower garland sits on a golden lion-armrested throne draped with a leopard-print cushion, his hands clasped at his waist. In front of him a low gold-tinted table holds silver plates, a silver kalasha-style vessel, a lit oil lamp, and a tray of flowers and petals. Seated devotees in white ritual clothes with vibhuti on their foreheads, a girl in a white dress, and women in red and white saris sit with folded hands in worship. The throne figure's appearance is consistent with a person by his red turban and ornate throne setting, though the image is not conclusive.2017-06-21June 21 20172017-06-21 +1 copiesJune 21 20172017-06-21June 21 20172017-06-21June 21 20172017-06-21A seated man on a gilded throne with leopard-print cushions and golden lion figures receives devotees in a temple-style room. He wears a red-and-gold turban, a red garment and a long pink-and-white flower garland, and holds the garland in his hands. Before him, a low golden table holds silver plates, a flower arrangement with pink petals and brass oil lamps hang from above. Three seated devotees with hands folded in namaskar sit at the table: a woman in a red sari, a child with a white marked forehead, and a man in white with a tilak. A black stone wall and a wall-mounted air conditioner sit behind them, with a tall silver pole in front. The seated throne figure matches the page's a person reference only loosely, so identity is uncertain.2017-06-21 +1 copiesA photograph inside a temple-style hall with black slate wall and a wall-mounted air conditioner. A man seated on an ornate golden throne with lion-head armrests and leopard-print cushions wears a red turban, a multicolour flower garland and gold jewellery, and smiles toward a seated audience. Several people sit cross-legged on the floor at a low brass table: a woman in an orange sari, a boy with white tilak, a man in white dhoti with tilak, and women in red and white saris with vibhuti marks. Brass plates hold flower petals, a brass kalasha-style vessel and offerings; hanging brass bells and a lamp are above. The throned man is appearance-based as a person, with his distinctive turban, flower garland and ornate gold throne as cues, seated in an honoured position.2017-06-21 +1 copiesJune 21 20172017-06-21 +1 copies
