A seated man in rust-brown robes with a long trident held upright in his right hand, wearing a multicolored and white flower garland and copper-coloured armbands, eyes closed in a calm expression. Standing at left, a shaved-headed attendant in an orange dhoti and orange shawl with a rudraksha mala. Behind them a glass cabinet displays small deity figurines, toys and offerings, and in the lower right a tray of apples and bananas sits beside the seated man. The wall is painted blue. The visible seated man has a candidate appearance matching the page reference, but the cues are limited to the trident, garland and robes, so identity is uncertain.
