A smiling man in a saffron-orange robe sits on an ornate gold palanquin draped with purple, pink and white flower garlands. He wears a red and gold beaded garland, a gold crown-like headpiece and bangles, and raises both hands to the crown. Behind him are green and red tassels on a gold pole and a maroon velvet cushion. a person matches the page's claim by the saffron robe, layered gold and red garlands and ornate crown, but the face is not a verifiable basis, so this is an appearance-based candidate only. The scene is a festival procession in an indoor hall.
