A seated man in a golden-cream embroidered robe with red trousers and an orange turban sits on an ornate gold throne (peetha) at centre, holding a long ceremonial staff across his lap. The throne is framed by an arch of marigold and multicoloured flower garlands. Flanking him are two gilded vahana-style stands: on the left a golden bull (Nandi) carrying a shrine with a pair of deity murtis draped in red and garlanded; on the right a golden peacock-like bird carrying a standing red-robed murti under a garland arch. Dark maroon drapery hangs behind, with a patterned carpet on the platform and a small gold stool before the throne. Scene appears to be a staged ceremonial setting.
