A man in a leopard-print shawl over an orange garment sits before an ornate gold throne with floral garlands of yellow and red flowers behind him. He has a red bindi and white tilak on his forehead, and he smiles while holding a folded white paper toward an elderly woman with grey hair in a bun, who wears a white sari with a yellow border and reaches to touch his forehead. Golden ceremonial staffs appear at the right edge. Compatible cues include the flowing hair and distinctive shawl, so this may be a person in person, seated and receiving a devotee, although appearance alone leaves identity uncertain.
