A smiling man in ceremonial attire sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, framed by a large arch of yellow, orange and purple marigold garlands and white flower bedding. He wears a cream turban with a red bindi, a maroon and gold brocade kurta, a green dhoti-style lower garment and a cream shawl, with a heavy gold necklace and a rudraksha-style mala. Fruit-laden branches and a pineapple hang above, with a water bottle and microphone on a gold-carved side table. The page names the throne sitter as a person, but appearance cues alone do not confirm identity.
