A seated teacher sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne-platform (peetha) before a golden arched backrest draped with a yellow marigold garland. He wears a blue silk dhoti and matching upper cloth with an orange-saffron waist sash, a gold necklace of ceremonial beads, gold armbands and bangles, and a small red bindi. Flanking the dais are gold-fringed orange and red banners with floral and bird emblems, and metal staffs. Behind is a backdrop of colourful flower garlands and a deity image. The platform is decorated with red flowers and gold relief panels. Individual cues for the seated figure are a long dark swept hairstyle, saffron-orange cloth, rudraksha-style gold necklace and ornate throne, which together match the page's claim, so this is a person in person.
