A long-haired person in a red sleeveless top and white flower garland sits on the throne, holding a saffron flag on a pole. Beside them, a bearded man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala holds a small object and leans toward the throne. Around them, devotees in white dhotis and saris, one man in orange, and a young man in orange with a mobile phone stand close, with flower offerings on the ground.
