A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a long rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on a raised silver-and-cream throne in front of a red curtain, hands resting in his lap. Behind him a large gilded arched frame holds a richly adorned deity murti decorated with yellow and multicoloured floral garlands. Golden standing attendant statues flank the scene, and a smaller seated figure in red-brown and garlanded yellow sits to the left. Silver elephant figures sit at the base of the throne. The seated man's appearance is consistent with the page's description of a distinctive saffron-robed teacher with long rudraksha beads, so he is recorded as a probable candidate in an initiation setting, a person, seated on the throne before the garlanded deity murti.
