A seated figure in a red velvet throne with gilded carved top sits smiling, wearing a rust-brown and gold-bordered dhoti-style wrap, multiple gold beaded necklaces and a red bindi, with long swept-back hair; he rests one hand on his chest. A man in a white t-shirt leans in and places his hands on the shaved head of a kneeling young monk in orange robes at the front of the frame. Another shaved-headed figure in orange sits to the right, and a blue and gold fringed canopy hangs in the background at night. The seated figure matches the appearance cues of a candidate, but this is an appearance-based label only and the identity is uncertain.
