A smiling man in a maroon-red turban and maroon-red robe sits on a decorated palanquin-style seat under a golden fringed canopy, raising his right hand in greeting. He wears layered rudraksha and gold ceremonial necklaces, gold bangles and a gold armlet, and a kumkum mark on his forehead. Garlands of orange marigolds and white flowers hang around him, and a gold kalasha-style finial rises at the right. A younger attendant in white with a tilak stands at the left edge, and another hand appears at the far right. The a person appearance cues here are the ornate gold necklaces, rudraksha malas and ceremonial garlands on the seated figure, but the identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
