A seated man with eyes closed and hands pressed together in namaste, smiling. He wears a maroon-brown garment, a pink and white flower garland, gold necklaces with a large gold pendant, gold armlets and bangles, and a white vertical tilak with red kumkum. Behind him is an ornate silver-toned throne covered in multicoloured gems in red, green, blue and purple, with a striped orange-and-black tiger-print cushion beside him. A small decorated figure is at the lower left. Page presents this as a person at a Shakti initiation event, based on the visible ceremonial presentation and throne; the face is not used for identification, so the presence label is uncertain.
