A standing figure on a raised stage in front of a large ornate gold-embossed arch and a pink-lit backdrop. He holds a long black staff with a silver top and a white rope wrapped around it, wears a leopard-print vest with dark beaded trim, a rust-orange dhoti with gold border, multiple wooden beads and bracelets, and a rudraksha-style mala, with a white forehead mark and long dark hair. Beneath him is a tiger-skin patterned rug and a gold-carved throne-like seat. Appearance-based identification is probable: a person, standing on stage in ceremonial attire with a staff, leopard-print vest, and rudraksha malas.
