Another bare-chested man in an orange cloth stands at left, facing the throne. Green foliage and a red-railed area appear behind. The seated man has a red tilak on his forehead and smiles; the appearance-based label is a person, identified by the maroon robe, floral garland, enthroned position and ceremonial setting, with the throne and canopy as ritual offering context.
