A man seated on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet cushion and red bolsters, in front of a painted backdrop of tropical forest and aerial roots. He wears a white dhoti with gold borders, a bare upper body with gold armlets, a red rudraksha mala and a gold pendant necklace, and a red bindi on his forehead. His hands rest folded in his lap and his eyes are closed. In the foreground, two people sit on the golden platform in white and cream garments: a shaved-headed figure at left holding a small object, and a long-haired person in a yellow cloth at right. Oil lamps stand on the golden dais. The seated man matches the appearance cues of a person, seated in a throne-like position as the central figure of the ritual setting.
