A man with a shaved head and a white horizontal forehead mark sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a carved arched back, pressing his palms together in front of his face in namaskar. He wears a red-orange robe with a gold-bordered sash, a gold rudraksha-style mala and gold beaded necklaces. The red throne cushions have tiger-stripe patterns, and gilded lion-faced armrests flank him, with a leopard-print cloth beneath. Partial golden hands with bangles appear at the top edges. Appearance-based candidate is a person, but the cues are limited to a throne, saffron-red clothing and garlands; his face is hidden, so identity is uncertain.
