A seated figure on an ornate golden throne is showered with pink rose petals during a pushpabhishekam. He wears a rust-red garment, a golden necklace, a white flower garland, a pink flower crown and gold bangles, with a red tilak on his forehead and eyes closed in a smile. A person in a gold-and-yellow silk garment, seen at the left edge, holds up a hand and an offering vessel releasing petals. Golden lion-like carvings flank the throne. The figure's long swept hair, ornate gold jewellery and the ceremonial setting match the page's a person reference, so this is a probable in-person match, with the throne and petal shower as the ceremonial context.
