A man seated on an ornate gold-leaf throne with a red velvet cushion, palms pressed together in namaste with eyes closed. He wears a pale cream turban with a small red bindi, a white dhoti and shawl, and layered reddish-brown rudraksha malas with white beads. A silver staff leans against the throne, and brass oil lamps hang on dark wall rods. The scene appears to be a temple sanctum; a lit lamp sits at the lower right. Appearance-based cues (turban, rudraksha malas, seated on a throne) are consistent with a person, seated in a worship setting, but the face and presentation are not distinctive enough to confirm identity.
