A smiling man in a white turban and white robe with gold-bordered sash sits on an ornate gold throne upholstered in red fabric, draped with garlands of white jasmine and orange-red flowers. He wears a white-beaded mala and a gold necklace, and his bare feet rest on a red-cloth covered dais. A woman in a white sari with gold border stands at right, facing him. Behind the throne is a gold-carved backdrop with a small deity figure, and a white-and-red floral rangoli-style motif decorates the wall at left beside a standing fan. Appearance-based cues (long hair, turban, garlands, mala, throne) are consistent with a probable candidate, but the face and presentation are not certain enough to confirm identity.
