A seated man in an orange saffron robe sits in meditation on an ornate gilded throne with a deep gold carved backrest and lion-like armrests upholstered in red tiger-stripe velvet. His hands rest in a mudra on his lap and his eyes are closed. Garlands of yellow and purple flowers frame the throne's back, and a painted sunset backdrop of orange and gold fills the stage behind him. The man is a person: he has a shaved head, a red tilak mark on the forehead, a saffron robe and the ceremonial throne setting, though the image alone leaves his identity uncertain.
