A man seated on an ornate carved silver-and-wood throne plays a large Rudra Veena, a long-necked string instrument with two orange gourd resonators carved with leaf motifs. He has long dreadlocked hair with a crescent ornament and a rudraksha-style red bead band, a vertical white and red forehead mark, a short beard and eyes closed. He is bare-chested beneath a rust-orange wrap, wearing a gold pendant necklace, and sits before a dark red curtain on a stage. Appearance-based probable match to a person, playing the Rudra Veena during a sound initiation, with the instrument's screws and strings visible. Cushions and a silver pillar frame the scene.
