A seated man in a saffron-orange draped robe wears a long necklace of large gold-toned rudraksha beads with dark banding that hangs over both shoulders, plus a gold necklace and a gold-coloured belt at the waist. He has a white vertical tilak on the forehead with a red bindi, and his hands rest folded in his lap with a red thread on the wrist. He sits on a red cushioned seat in front of an ornate gold repoussé backdrop, and a carved staff with a coiled cobra stands at the right edge. Appearance-based cues are the long rudraksha malas, saffron robe and ornate gold setting, so this is a person seated in person on a throne.
