A seated figure with long matted dark hair, white markings on the forehead and a rust-red draped garment wears heavy gold ceremonial pendants and layered yellow and red beaded garlands, sitting on a red throne-like seat beside gold-framed decor. A devotee in a grey shirt and orange-red shawl kneels and bows forward, offering a small white figurine or bundle toward the seated figure's hands. Behind them, women in cream and gold saris with gold necklaces stand and watch, and a gold pole stands at the right edge. The figure's appearance is consistent with the candidate, though the page places no event context beyond the title, so identity remains uncertain.
