A seated man in a red and gold turban and a gold brocade sherwani with a red shawl sits on an ornate throne during a pada-puja. He holds a silver staff topped with a bird figure and wears a gold garland. Behind him, a deity murti stands among tall garlands of yellow, red, purple and white flowers, with a green cloth draped over a platform in front. The man is the candidate described by the page, with a long-haired, turbaned, saffron-and-gold ceremonial appearance, so the identification is probable.
