A seated figure in a rust-orange and gold-bordered dhoti and shawl sits on an ornate gilded throne with lion-head carvings and orange cushions, wearing a long rudraksha-style bead mala and a white forehead mark. Brass hanging bells and an oil lamp hang on the left, and silver trays of red flowers and small lamps sit at the feet. A person in white is partly visible at the bottom edge. The seated figure has distinctive ceremonial cues (ornate throne, rudraksha mala, saffron-orange dress, gold ear adornment), so this is a person depiction in an in-person setting on a throne, consistent with a pada puja offering.
