A smiling man stands with palms pressed together in anjali mudra at a night ceremony. He wears an ornate maroon turban with gold and jewelled crown ornament and a white feather, a red and gold garland of flowers, gold necklaces, gold armlets and bangles, and a red-and-gold ritual cloth. Behind him, several men in orange and saffron robes and white forehead markings stand near tall ceremonial poles, with a red drape on the left. Another attendant holds a plate of offerings. The face and appearance are consistent with the a person cues of turban, gold ornaments and garland, but identity is uncertain.
