A seated man in an orange-red turban with a jewelled ornament and a red bindi sits on a red throne upholstered in red fabric, in front of an ornate gold throne back carved with foliage. He holds a silver ceremonial staff with a finial in his right hand and wears a dense garland of red and gold-beaded flowers, layered gold necklaces and a rudraksha mala, with a saffron-orange garment. He smiles with eyes closed. A gold lion head sits at the left edge, and a microphone stand is visible at right against dark red drapes. The visible cues are a turban, gold ornate clothing, a mala and a staff, and this is a candidate for the archive's a person, though appearance alone is only partly certain.
