A man in saffron-orange robes, a sacred thread-like orange shawl, a rudraksha-style bead necklace, a white forehead mark and long swept-back hair sits on the throne with his feet resting on a flower-strewn tray. Several women in orange and red saris and white-clothed devotees sit on the floor around silver trays holding small oil lamps, flowers and offerings, performing a puja or padapuja ritual.
