A seated man in a red shawl and red dhoti-style garment with a thick ornate gold bead necklace raises his right hand in a blessing or teaching gesture, eyes closed, with long dark hair swept back and a red tilak mark on his forehead. Behind him stand grey stone sculptures of deity murtis and a stone figure, with green banana leaves, a red-orange pillar and a white-clad figure at the far left in an outdoor temple garden. The man is described by the page as a person; appearance cues (long swept hair, ornate gold necklace, saffron-red clothing) are consistent with a probable identification, so this is a probable identification of the seated teacher.
