A smiling man with long dark hair and a vertical white tilak stands before a red velvet-backed throne inside a warmly lit hall decorated with a large golden arch and marigold and red garlands on pillars. He wears a red and white draped cloth, layered red and white beaded malas, and bracelets, and he holds a silver trident in his left hand while resting his right hand on his hip. The distinctive long hair, layered malas and ornate golden arch give qualifying appearance cues, but the figure cannot be confirmed from the image alone, so identity is unsure.
