A man with long swept-back dark hair sits with eyes closed on an ornate gold-and-red throne with carved lion and peacock motifs. He wears an orange saffron shawl over one shoulder and a long necklace of dark rudraksha beads, with a red bindi and white vibhuti marks on his forehead. His hands are folded in his lap. Behind him are golden lamp stands, a carved stone pillar and a red gate with greenery.
