Behind him stands a silver trident (trishul) on a pole. Around him, a crowd of devotees in white and orange clothing, some wearing rudraksha malas, watch closely; a woman in orange sari is at left and a man in a white shirt holds a long wooden pole. The setting appears to be a festival procession or public ceremony. The seated man's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.
