A man with long dark hair, a white tilak and a red bindi stands outdoors smiling and gesturing with one hand, wearing an orange saffron garment with a gold-bordered waist cloth. He wears a heavy gold ceremonial necklace, a long garland of red flowers and green leaves with lime-like fruit strands, and a red beaded armlet. Behind him is a large golden trident and a silver-and-gold staff, with banana leaves and flower garlands overhead. A woman in a blue sari and a man in white dhoti stand nearby. Strong wearable cues include the saffron clothing, long hair and ceremonial gold ornaments, consistent with the page's a person reference, so this is an appearance-based probable identification as the honoured guest at a procession-style Jayanthi event.
