A man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a cushioned red back, wearing a rust-red robe, a long white-and-purple flower garland, layered gold and bead necklaces with a large gold pendant, gold armbands, and a forehead tilak. He rests his hands on his lap beside a tray of flowers. To his left, a woman in a cream and gold sari with a red-and-gold shawl sits holding a silver tray with a small lamp. On the right edge, a bald man bare-chested in a white dhoti tied at the waist sits facing the throne. Behind them, a bronze statue of a standing figure and a red stone-tiered backdrop appear. The appearance-based cues on the seated man (rust robe, garlands, gold ornaments, throne) are consistent with the page's a person reference, so he is described as a person in an appearance-based label.
