A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe and a long rudraksha mala sits on a gilded throne draped with yellow, purple and green flower garlands, with a shawl-like orange cloth over the shoulders. Near him, a ceremonial scene unfolds: several people in white dhotis and white garments sit on the floor holding brass plates with red apples, small oil lamps and offering vessels. A man in a white shirt stands nearby, and a female devotee in a white sari sits to the left. Behind the throne is a deity murti with a garland, and gold-painted staves and banners frame the stage.
