Outdoors beside a shallow forest stream with rocks and green foliage, a smiling figure in a deep maroon-red robe and matching turban with a crescent-and-trident ornament sits on a silver-embossed seat under a red and gold umbrella. Long white jasmine garlands and gold-toned rudraksha-style beads hang on the seated figure, who has gold bangles and gold earrings. A man in a white dhoti and white shirt with a red shawl, rudraksha mala and forehead marking kneels in the water and offers two red apples to the seated figure's hands. Behind them, a bald man in a red-orange shawl stands in the stream and another attendant in white with an orange-red shawl stands further back. The seated figure is shown as a person of prominent ritual status, with visible cues of distinctive turban, garlands and ornaments; a printed caption is not visible.

A standing man in a white dhoti and red shawl holds a red-and-gold umbrella overhead, with dense green foliage and tree roots on the bank. Looks like a ritual bathing or abhishekam setting by the river.2014-12-17December 17 20142014-12-17August 09 20152015-08-09November 10 20152015-11-10April 13 20142014-04-13A photograph of a seated figure in a red-orange robe with rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and a white forehead marking, on a gilded throne with lion-head armrests and red upholstery.
