Behind is a gold-toned draped backdrop, a gold ornate deity murti or ritual object at left, and a wooden drum-like instrument with a light skin head at right. The figure has a gold necklace and a red-thread wrist band. Appearance-based candidate: a person cues include the saffron-red clothing and gold ornamentation, but the face and features are not clearly visible.
