A bearded man seated on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions and a tiger-striped seat cover, raising one hand in blessing while holding a tall silver staff with engraved finials. He wears a rust-red turban with a jeweled ornament, a rust-red garment, a heavy gold necklace and armbands, and a long garland of pink lotus flowers draped over his shoulders and lap. Yellow marigold garlands decorate the base of the throne, and a floral backdrop with red and white blooms appears at upper right. The throne and garments suggest a formal darshan setting. Appearance-based label: a person, based on the throne, saffron-toned ceremonial clothing and gold adornments, with the page noting his presence.
