A bearded man sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved gilded backrest, smiling and looking to his right. He wears a tall dark braided turban topped with a silver crescent and a small gold ornament, a white horizontal forehead mark, a dense rudraksha mala, a gold cobra pendant and gold ornamental necklaces, and his bare shoulders are visible. Given the swept hair, turban, ceremonial gold necklaces and rudraksha malas, this is a person depiction in person, seated in the role of a ceremonial sannyasi.A seated man on an ornate gilded throne (peetha) with lion figures and carved kirtimukha-like panels against a dark blue backdrop. He wears a black turban with a crescent ornament, a white forehead band, a beaded rudraksha mala and a ceremonial gold necklace, and his bare upper body is adorned with a garland and bangles. He raises one hand in a blessing gesture while holding a trident (trishul) in the other. The throne has pointed gold finials and a red cloth beneath.

He wears a dark turban decorated with a crescent ornament and a leaf sprig, a white horizontal forehead marking, and a thick rudraksha mala with a gold pendant. Bare-chested with rudraksha armlets and a gold cuff, he smiles toward the camera against a dark background. Appearance-based a person cues include the crown-like turban, the ceremonial gold ornaments and the regal throne setting; the page indicates no a person at this event, so this identification is unsure.
