A seated figure on a gold-and-red throne with a golden lion-head armrest, wearing a rudraksha-style red-orange garland, orange-brown dhoti and gold necklace, smiles while a bare-shouldered attendant in white with a gold border bends forward at right, holding flower garlands. Behind them, a decorated shrine has a green-draped alcove with a deity murti garlanded with white and red flowers, a golden peetha with a flower garland, and a painted blue wall with a multi-armed deity figure holding a trident. Flowers are heaped around the throne and a pink cloth lies on the floor.
