A smiling man sits cross-legged on a red velvet throne with a tiger-stripe pattern and a braided white rope edging. He wears an orange-saffron dhoti with a gold border and a leopard-print cloth over his lap, with a rudraksha mala and a white ceremonial rope across his chest. A white tilak and red bindi mark his forehead. He holds a long curved ceremonial sword upright in one hand, and a painted backdrop of a figure in orange and gold is behind him. The appearance is consistent with the a person by several cues: rudraksha mala, saffron clothing, and ceremonial regalia, though the face is not used for identification.
