A seated man in an orange-saffron cloth wrap sits in an orange leather armchair with a red bindi on his forehead and a long rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders. He wears a gold chain and looks to his left. Behind him stand two golden deity murtis, one with a tall red-and-gold crown and a jeweled green-and-gold garment, the other with an ornate crown and jeweled necklaces, both framed by garlands of red, yellow, purple and white flowers.
