A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe and a red turban sits on an ornate gilded throne carved with a cobra hood and lion-head armrests, draped with leopard-print cushions. He wears a long white-and-gold garland, a rudraksha mala and gold bangles, and smiles calmly. Behind him stands a red-and-gold ceremonial umbrella with Dhyanapeetam lettering, and attendants in white dhotis with sacred marks stand nearby, one holding a long staff. Festival crowds are visible at the edges of the procession. The figure matches the a person cues of a red turban, saffron robe and rudraksha mala, but his appearance is not certain enough to confirm identity.
