A bearded man with long dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne under a red and gold umbrella with multicoloured tassels. He wears a rust-orange shawl over bare shoulders, a long beaded rudraksha mala around his neck, and smiles while gesturing with his right hand. Gold lion figures, brass oil lamps and a purple cloth-covered cushion surround him, with a red velvet curtain behind. The page identifies this as a person; the appearance has a bare-chested presentation with a shawl and rudraksha cues, so the identity is probable.
