On the right, a man with long dark hair, a tall golden crown, and a deep red-orange silk robe with a red shawl sits on an ornate gold throne under a gold canopy, smiling and gesturing with raised hands toward a woman in a red and gold sari who faces him with folded hands. Beside her a man in white dhoti and white kurta wears marigold garlands and holds a red tray. Other devotees in white and orange-red shawls stand behind, some with palms pressed together, and a woman in a red sari with gold border and a man in white clothes with garlands are at left. The throne's man shows strong appearance cues consistent with a person, seated in a receiving role.
