A man with long swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne with carved gold relief behind him, wearing a light blue sleeveless top and matching blue draped cloth over his shoulder and lap, with several strands of wooden rudraksha beads and white pearl necklaces, and a red bindi and white forehead markings. His palms are raised toward the front in a blessing gesture. Partially visible people in the lower corners and an oil lamp flame at the bottom edge suggest a seated devotee gathering.
