A smiling man stands barefoot on a decorated stage before carved wooden doors with a metal trident and a damaru drum decorated with leopard-print cloth hanging from it. He wears a rust-red draped garment, multiple strands of rudraksha-style beads across the chest, beaded armbands, and a tilak on his forehead. Behind him a tiger-striped cloth covers a seat, and painted deity figures stand on the right with ornate pillars and a brass lamp at lower left. Long dark hair falls past his shoulders. The scene resembles a ceremonial stage set. The appearance is consistent with a candidate figure but the page does not name him as present, so the identity remains uncertain.
