A man with long dark hair, a white and red tilak with a central dot on his forehead, and a full beard and moustache sits smiling on a leopard-print cushioned seat in front of a gold-carved throne. He wears an orange-brown robe, many rudraksha mala strands, a white-and-red beaded garland, a gold pendant and rudraksha bracelets, and raises one hand in greeting while holding a tall silver staff topped with a trident-like finial. Behind him, a floral backdrop of orange, white and green flowers with pink accents fills the frame. Appearance-based identification is probable: the long swept hair, saffron-toned clothing, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklace match the page's reference to a person, and he is physically present in the scene.
