A seated man on an ornate gold-carved throne with red velvet cushions smiles while an attendant in orange robes and a rudraksha mala pours water from a small bowl over his hands. The seated man wears a white turban with a gold band, a pale green embroidered kurta and yellow dhoti-style trousers, and a long gold chain. Behind them, another person in orange robes and a man with a shaved head stand near a vase of orange flowers and water bottles. The seated man's appearance matches the page's a person reference only partly, since the attire is ceremonial but the physical cues are not clearly distinctive, so identity is uncertain. Ritual honouring with water, padapuja-style, is visible.
