A man with a full dark beard sits on an ornate golden throne in a gilded shrine hall, holding a silver trident upright in his right hand. He wears a rust-brown saffron-toned robe, a long white flower garland, a gold chain with a pendant, and beaded bracelets. Behind him, three gold-clad deity murtis sit on the throne backdrop, decorated with jewelled necklaces and crowns. Gold lion figures flank the seat, and a striped woven mat covers the floor in front. A brass ritual vessel is in the lower foreground. The man's appearance, with his beard, saffron-toned robe and trident, is consistent with the page's description of a person, though that identification is probable rather than certain. a person is seated on the throne as a presiding teacher.
