A seated man on an ornate golden throne with a gilded canopy, flanked by lion-head armrests and leopard-print cushions over a tiger-striped cloth. He wears a rust-brown robe, layered gold necklaces, a gold crown with a saffron-orange turban piece, a red tilak, and a long white-and-pink flower garland. He holds a silver staff in his right hand and smiles with eyes closed. Two bronze attendant figurines stand beside the throne, a brass bell hangs from the top right, and red drapes fill the background. Appearance-based cues (crown, saffron-orange headwear, layered gold ornaments, rudraksha-style adornment, long hair) fit a person candidate on a throne, but the identity is uncertain from appearance alone and the page does not state he is present.
