A figure stands barefoot on a stage in front of a misty green backdrop painted with a large banyan tree and hanging aerial roots. He wears a maroon blouse and maroon dhoti under a leopard-print shawl, with a heavy gold-and-red beaded necklace and a red bindi. He raises his right hand in greeting and holds a tall silver trident. Behind him is a carved dark wooden throne-like seat with a leopard-print cushion and lit candles on its sides, and a second silver trident stands at the right edge. The page identifies this event as a paada pooja, and the figure has long swept-back hair and ceremonial adornments, so this is a person appearance.
