A man seated on an ornate gilded throne with lion-head armrests, draped in a tiger-striped cloth, raises both palms in blessing. He wears a rust-brown robe, a multi-strand gold necklace, a rudraksha-style bead mala, bangles and a pink, yellow and white flower garland. He has long dark hair swept up and a white tilak on his forehead. A golden trident stands to his left and a silver staff to his right, under a red ceremonial canopy. The figure matches the a person cues of ornate gold jewellery, a tiger-skin seat, a trident and a garlanded throne, so he is identified as a person in this seated photograph, which is consistent with the page's padapuja description.
