A man in a rust-brown kurta and matching dhoti stands in an ornate golden doorway of a temple-style set, one hand on his hip and the other holding a tall golden trident. Flanking him are gilded pillars carved with rearing lions and figures, brass lamp-bearing statues, a brass trident, and a golden lion. Strings of small lights and hanging bells frame the dark inner doorway, and a colourful striped cloth covers the platform. Painted deity figures are visible on the wall to the right. The man is visible with a sandalwood mark on his forehead and a mala-style necklace; his appearance is not sufficiently distinctive to confirm the page's a person claim.
