A seated man with long swept-back dark hair, a red-brown saffron-toned garment, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklaces sits on a red and gold throne draped with yellow and green flower garlands in a golden temple setting; a candidate for a person by visible cues. Two people in white dhotis with gold borders stand beside the throne and a third kneels at left beside a golden trident, with a small trident and gilded relief figures behind. Flower petals scatter on the red-carpeted floor.
