A seated figure in a dark turban and rust-brown garment, with a bare shoulder and leopard-print waistband, sits before a large carved relief of a deity in a cross-legged pose holding a drum-like object. A tall silver trident stands to the left, and a second carved figure of a bearded sage with hands in prayer flanks the scene on each side. The seated figure wears layered gold necklaces, rudraksha bracelets and a white forehead mark with a red bindi, smiling. Swamiji (probable): the turban, rudraksha bracelets, gold necklaces and white-and-red forehead markings are present, so the seated figure is an appearance-based candidate physically present.
