He holds a silver trident in one hand. Golden lion figures flank the throne, which is draped with leopard-print cushions and a jewelled, embroidered canopy framed by yellow, white and red marigold and rose flowers. A single photograph with one person visible; the throne ensemble and flowers suggest a ceremonial procession setting.

In front of him stands a large deity murti adorned with dense garlands in red, yellow, purple and white, with a gold crown and a gilded kalasha-like pedestal. Gilded figures and a golden arch frame the shrine, and flower garlands hang over the seated images. Mounted on the wall at top left is a small purple emblem.
