A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne with a multi-tiered golden canopy and carved lion figures. He wears a pink and white flower garland, a gold pendant, rudraksha mala beads, and bangles, with long hair swept back and a full beard; his eyes are closed and he smiles. Beside him a shaven-headed priest in orange dhoti with white tilak and bare upper body holds up a purple box or tray as an offering. Behind the throne hangs a large painted backdrop of a deity with raised hands holding a lamp and a trident, and gold leaf decorations hang above. A red cloth covers the dais and a red floor carpet lies in front. The appearance matches the description of the presiding figure and the page places a person at this event, so this is a probable identification from visible cues: long swept hair, saffron robes, rudraksha mala, and ceremonial gold ornaments.
