A seated man in orange-saffron garments sits on a golden throne-like chariot, palms pressed together in namaste with a smile and closed eyes. He wears an ornate gold crown with a sunburst-style disc, a red bindi, layered red and pink flower garlands, gold bangles and armlets. Behind him a tall gilded pole with a golden finial and blue and red tassels rises against a clear sky. Marigold and yellow garlands drape the front of the golden vehicle. Whether this is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so the identity remains uncertain.
