A standing man with a full dark beard and a smiling expression raises one hand in greeting beside an ornate golden shrine. He wears an ornate gold crown with an orange tassel, a thick multi-strand gold necklace and chest ornaments, and a pale-pink and white flower garland, over a dark reddish-brown robe. He holds a tall silver staff with a rounded top. Beside him sits a richly decorated deity murti seated on a golden throne, dressed in jewelled orange and gold garments with a jewelled crown and a long silver spear-like staff; yellow and red flower garlands surround the throne. Brass bells hang from the ceiling and carved gold panels fill the background. Petals lie on the floor in the foreground. The man's identity is not established by visible text, and the appearance cues (crown, ornate gold jewellery, long-haired presentation) are consistent with the a person candidate.
