A seated man on a red velvet throne with tiger-striped cushion sits centrally, wearing saffron-orange draped clothing, multiple rudraksha malas and gold necklaces, gold armbands and bangles, and a red tilak on his forehead; he holds a long curved sword-like blade upright in his right hand. Before the throne, a bald monk in orange robes sits cross-legged facing him beside another seated man in a pink shirt, who has his hands folded. Brass oil lamps flank the throne, flower arrangements sit on the dais, and a tray with offerings lies near the feet. The backdrop shows a dramatic cosmic scene of orange fire, stars and crescent shapes.
