A man with long, loose black hair and a yellow-white tilak with a red dot on his forehead sits in profile, smiling, beside a tall black staff topped with golden bells that a second person grips at left. He wears an orange-rust draped cloth over his shoulder, a leopard-print garment at the waist, and many dark rudraksha mala strands with cream-coloured beads across his chest, with rudraksha bracelets on his wrists. One arm is raised toward the right. Behind him hang red silk drapes and a gold-embroidered seat edge is visible at left. The a person candidate is a seated man in orange and rudraksha clothing, appearance consistent with a probable identity but not certain enough for a firm claim.
