A seated figure with long dark hair and a bare shoulder, wearing a rust-red wrap, sits on an ornate gold throne-like chair and extends a hand toward a standing man. The standing man, with short grey hair, wears a white kurta and a red-orange shawl with a red-and-white beaded mala, hands pressed together in anjali. Behind them are deity murti figures draped in heavy gold garlands and colourful silk, with green foliage and a trident-like staff leaning nearby. The seated figure's appearance matches the page's a person note only in a limited way, so identity is uncertain.
