A man sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a carved arched back and lion-head armrests, draped in red tiger-striped cushions and a tiger-skin seat cover. He wears a rust-red silk robe with gold borders, a long rudraksha mala necklace, a red bindi, and white markings on his upper arms. He holds a small wooden-handled whisk or fan in one hand and smiles toward the side. Red velvet curtains hang behind the throne. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated on the throne in saffron-red robes with rudraksha mala and ornate gold seating.
