A figure in red robes and a red turban sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne draped with garlands of marigold and white flowers, hands joined in front of the chest. Beside him stands a smaller red-clad deity murti on a gold lion-decorated cart, also garlanded, with a red shawl behind it. Brass oil lamps with lit flames, a trident and a kalasha-like finial frame the stage, set against a painted blue and grey rocky backdrop. The stage is a ceremonial satsang setting. The seated figure shows long hair under the turban and a rudraksha-style mala, with distinctive adornments consistent with a person presence, though appearance alone leaves identity uncertain.
