A man seated on an ornate gilded throne with a red velvet cushion, wearing an orange-saffron cloth draped over his body and a long rudraksha mala hanging to his waist. He has long dark hair, a white vertical tilak with a red dot on his forehead, and a gold chain, and his eyes are lowered as his hands rest over a golden bowl. Behind him hang orange and gold drapes and a brass lamp stand with an oil lamp, with green plants at his side. A partly visible attendant in white clothing stands at the right edge. The seated man is an appearance-based probable candidate for a person, based on the long swept hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala, though this is not a confirmed identification.
