August 03 20102010-08-03A seated man in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back dark hair, wearing a white and red flower garland and a rudraksha-style bead necklace, sits on an ornate gold throne and extends his hand to receive offerings. A woman in an orange shawl and white garment bends forward to place something in his hands, while a young boy in a yellow-green shirt stands in the lower right. Behind them a man in orange clothing stands near a gold kalasha-like ornament and a wall decorated with white, red and yellow flower garlands. A red cushion sits on the throne.

She bends forward with her grey hair in a bun, wearing a pink-orange striped sari, hands near a wooden offering box with a microphone. Behind them a man in white with a yellow shawl stands near a red-and-white painted wall, and a red vibhuti or kumkum mark is visible on the seated man's forehead.
