A bare-chested man with long matted hair, a beard and white body markings wears an orange dhoti and holds a lit oil lamp (aarti) toward a brass kalasha decorated with flowers and leaves. Seated on an ornate gold throne with a crown is a figure in a red-and-white outfit, layered white beaded necklaces and a yellow flower garland, with a brass plate of offerings beside him; the seated figure is a candidate for the a person based on the crown, ornate gold setting, garlands and ornaments, and is listed as a depiction-free in-person presence.
