A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gilded throne with a carved golden lion-like armrest and a tiger-striped cloth draped over the seat. He wears a long rudraksha mala with gold beads, a gold trident-shaped sceptre in his right hand, a white vertical tilak on his forehead, and a red thread on his wrist. Behind him hang brass bells and a lit brass oil lamp, and in the foreground are silver trays holding small bowls, a brass lamp and red rose petals. a person is seated on the throne, shown with a rudraksha mala and trident sceptre, the throne being adorned as a ceremonial seat. A faint figure in a red turban and gold necklace sits in the background, and a partially visible person in white kneels at the lower right edge.
