At the centre, a bare-chested man with long hair sits on an ornate gold throne draped in a rust-red cloth, placed on a red floor. Around him devotees in rust, orange and white garments stand and kneel, many with palms pressed together in greeting. A woman in a pink dress and a woman in a white sari stand nearby, and children in white and orange dress are visible at left and right. The seated man's appearance matches the archive's a person, probable, through his long swept-back hair, rust-red cloth and gold throne, but this is an appearance-based label only. The scene shows a ceremonial gathering.
