A man sits on an ornate gilded throne with a arched back and red cushions, bare-chested beneath an orange-red shawl draped over his shoulders. He wears a long rudraksha mala and a red bindi, and holds a small offering in his right hand over a large silver bowl placed on a golden stand with a green cloth. A pink plastic basket and a small bottle sit at the right edge; a white backdrop stands behind. The man shows distinctive long hair and rudraksha beads with a shawl, but the appearance is not clearly matched to a specific identity, so this is an unsure candidate.
