A smiling man in a brown-maroon turban with gold ornaments and a white feather walks along a red carpet at night. He wears a copper-brown silk garment with gold borders, a heavy gold necklace and armlets, and a long red-and-pink floral garland. Behind him, two attendants in orange robes with white head bands stand by; one holds a long trident-topped staff and another a curved gold instrument. A lit shrine with deity figures glows in the background. Physical people visible: the central man and two or three attendants, so the count falls in the 2-5 range.
