A long-haired man in a blue draped garment with an orange border sits cross-legged on a red-cushioned, gold-carved throne with a tall arched back. A yellow marigold garland hangs over the throne's arch, and a red cushion rests behind him. He wears a rudraksha-style beaded mala, a gold necklace, bangles and a red forehead mark, and smiles while speaking. Gold-framed ceremonial standards with floral banners flank the throne, and red and yellow flowers lie on the dais. A floral backdrop of marigolds stands behind the stage. The figure has distinctive long hair, ornate ceremonial clothing and throne-level seating consistent with the page's a person reference, but appearance alone is not conclusive.
