A man in a rust-orange robe sits at the lower left, palms pressed together in namaskar, smiling toward large gilded statues of a deity couple. The standing-seated male figure wears a red turban, a beaded and jewelled chest ornament with gold coin pendants, a cream and gold-bordered dhoti and holds a trident-like staff and a small hand drum or damaru. Beside him a female figure wears a teal and gold sari, layered diamond-look necklaces and a crown. Red drapes and scattered flower petals surround the platform. The man has a white forehead mark and rudraksha beads at his neck, with long hair swept back, a cue consistent with the page's a person reference, though his face is partly turned.
