A smiling bearded man seated on an ornate silver throne waves his right hand in greeting, facing the camera. He wears a rust-orange saffron wrap over his shoulders, a long rudraksha-style mala of brown beads, and a multicoloured garland of white, green, red and yellow flowers. A red bindi and white vibhuti mark his forehead, and a red thread is tied on his wrist. Behind him stands a gilded deity murti with a trident and raised arm, flanked by golden lamp stands and a yellow silk backdrop, with green cloth and orange hibiscus flowers at the lower corners. The seated man has long swept-back hair and distinctive ceremonial adornments consistent with the page's reference to a person, presented as a probable depiction of the event subject.
