A large gilded throne stands centre, with red cushions and red and yellow flower garlands draped on its back. Above it is a framed portrait of a long-haired man in orange robes, seated cross-legged with a rudraksha mala and a raised hand; this is a printed portrait, not a physical person. Two carved stone lion sculptures flank the throne, with brass oil lamps beside them. Behind is a large backdrop printed with a red sandstone temple facade.
