A seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne, adorned with long garlands of yellow, orange and white flowers and palm fronds, raises one hand in blessing. He wears orange robes, a red-and-white flower garland and a rudraksha mala. Two attendants in orange stand beside him: one holds a tall gold-tipped staff under a multicoloured ceremonial umbrella, the other stands behind the throne. A brass trident rests on the orange-draped platform in front, with flower petals scattered at the base, and red stone steps and tiered stone pillars form the background.
