A seated figure in orange saffron robes with the head and shoulders covered by an orange cloth sits cross-legged on an orange cushion placed on a raised pale stone platform. A brass kettle-shaped vessel with a spout and a brass plate sit nearby. Around him the ground is covered with pale ash in ring-shaped patterns, and rows of grey stone statues of seated deity forms with tall crowns stand in the background beside a stack of firewood and a blue tarpaulin. The figure is calm and facing sideways, with eyes lowered. Appearance is not sufficient to confirm identity, so the figure is described by role only.
