A man seated on an ornate chair before a gold-embossed backdrop with red draping, smiling and holding a thin white stick or wand in his right hand. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, a long strand of white beaded rudraksha-style mala around his neck, a small gold earring, white sacred ash and a red bindi on his forehead. Pink flowers and a green fruit-shaped decoration sit to the left, and a cushioned seat with orange trim is visible. This is a person candidate by visible cues: saffron clothing, beaded mala, sacred markings and a gold-covered throne setting, though his face is not used for identification.
