A man with long dark hair and a full beard sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne carved with scrolls and lion heads, raising his right hand in blessing and smiling. He wears a rust-red robe, a rudraksha mala, a long ceremonial gold necklace with a gold pendant, and white and purple orchid garlands draped over his shoulders. A tiger-striped cloth covers the seat cushion. Gold trishul staffs with tassels of red, yellow, green and blue stand on either side, with gilded lion figures at the base.
