A bearded man with long dark hair piled high sits on an ornate gold throne with a deep red cushioned seat and armrests, in an open tent or pavilion with hanging lights. He wears a brown-maroon turban with a jewelled ornament, a brown-maroon dhoti-style wrap, a pink-and-white flower garland, layered gold necklaces with a large gold pendant, rudraksha beads, and gold armbands and bangles. A draped brown cloth lies on the armrest. Smoke drifts at left. The scene reads as a stage or satsang dais; the appearance matches the page's a person claim on cues of saffron-brown ceremonial dress, ornate gold and rudraksha, so this is a probable identification from appearance.
