A seated man in an orange turban and orange garment sits on an ornate gold throne, wearing a red and green flower garland and a multi-strand beaded necklace. He holds a small object in his hands and looks down. In front of him, two large polished metal deity murtis stand on pedestals, with water running down the figure on the left. A hand from the upper left pours water from a silver vessel over the murti. Behind the figures is a large backdrop with a golden design.
