A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with leopard-print cushions, eyes closed, hands resting in his lap, with a dark-blue-and-purple lit interior. A gold canopy hangs above him and bells dangle from the frame. Two tall painted dvarapala guardian statues with raised hands and maces stand on either side of the open wooden doors. The figure wears a black turban and a tilak on his forehead. Appearance cues fit a person, a seated figure on a throne with a saffron robe, rudraksha mala and turban, though the face is not clearly distinguishable at this size, so identity is uncertain.
