A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with leopard-print and tiger-skin cushions wears a maroon-brown garment, a pink flower garland, and a gold necklace, with one hand raised in a blessing gesture and a staff standing beside him. In front, a standing man in saffron-orange cloth and a saffron head wrap, with long dreadlocked hair and bare upper body, holds a lit lamp toward the throne during a puja. Golden kalasha-style pillars, bells and hanging chains frame the scene, with two painted deity statues in green and gold flanking the shrine.
