A seated man in a maroon-red robe sits on an ornate silver-framed throne with a red cushion, raising a silver staff topped with a finial in his right hand. He wears layered gold necklaces, a gold armlet with red beads, a brooch of white flower ornaments on his chest, and a red-and-gold bracelet. A long dark braid of hair hangs over his shoulder and a small tilak marks his forehead. Behind him stand many devotees, mostly women in saris and some men with bare chests, in a bright hall with pale walls. A silver ceremonial stand with carved scrollwork sits at left, and a red cloth draped over the throne arm is visible at lower right.
