A seated man on an ornate gold throne with carved lion armrests and red velvet cushions, smiling and holding a white-handled staff across his lap. He wears a saffron-orange wrap over his shoulder and draped garment, a long orange-gold beaded necklace, rudraksha-style bracelets and a red bindi, with long swept-back dark hair. Behind him, a large colourful painted deity murti with multiple arms and a crown fills the backdrop beside turquoise walls and a pink-and-green pillar. The appearance matches the a person candidate cues of long hair, saffron clothing, malas and a throne, but identity is uncertain.
