A seated man in a red-maroon robe and matching red turban sits on an ornate gold throne with carved scrollwork and a gold back-rest. He wears a long white flower garland and rudraksha-style beads, and holds a silver trident (trishul) upright beside him. Behind him a large green tree with strings of fairy lights stands before a painted backdrop of a golden sunset, silhouetted palms, a temple silhouette and a dark figure with a trident. Pink and yellow floral arrangements in wrapped pink sleeves flank the throne on the wooden stage. Appearance-based probable candidate: a person, seated on the throne with a trident, garland and turban, identity uncertain from appearance alone.
