A seated man in rust-red and gold ceremonial robes sits on an ornate brown throne with a golden arched canopy and red carved animal-head armrests. He wears a gold bead necklace, gold armlets and bangles, and a red bindi on a pale forehead mark, smiling with eyes closed and hands folded in his lap. Cushions, a folded white towel and a small drum sit beside him, and a painted backdrop of a river landscape with a temple appears behind. Appearance-based label: a person, seated on the throne as the speaker, with his distinctive gold necklace and ceremonial saffron-toned robes; a shaved head with a short crop is not visible, so identity remains uncertain.
