Two golden ceremonial staves topped with ornate finials rise on either side, and colourful tasselled canopy poles appear at the top edge. Men around him wear orange shawls, white kurtas and rudraksha beads, some with vibhuti marks on their foreheads. The figure appears to be a person candidate by the orange turban, orange robe, ornate gold necklaces and procession setting, though the appearance is not fully certain.
