A seated figure in orange robes, with an orange and red turban, orange beaded necklace and garlands, sits cross-legged on a gilded throne with a red cushion and fringed golden canopy on a stage. Behind and beside him are large garlanded deity murti: a golden-faced female deity with a crown and jewelled necklaces on the right, and a gilded figure of a seated deity with a mount-like figure on the left, decorated with yellow, purple and red flower garlands. The backdrop is orange with a red gradient and decorative motifs, and a standing electric fan sits at the right edge. The person on the throne is an appearance-based a person candidate given the orange robes, turban, rudraksha-style mala and ceremonial throne setting, but the cues are not strong enough to confirm identity.
