Silver trident-topped staffs stand beside the throne, and a small silver table with a kalasha-like vessel sits nearby. A wall clock reads 11:30 and framed pictures hang on the back wall. Distinctive saffron robes, swept hair and gold necklace mark the throned figure as a person in a seated teaching role.
