A figure seen from behind stands on a raised stage beside an ornate gold-and-red throne, holding a silver trident whose tip rests against the throne's gilded backrest. The person wears a rust-brown sleeveless top and dhoti-style wrap with gold border, a rust-coloured turban-like head wrap, long dark dreadlocks down the back, a pink flower garland, and beaded bracelets on the arms. Behind the throne is a large painted image of a multi-armed deity with a crescent moon and third eye on the crown, adorned with rudraksha beads, and golden leafy decorations hang overhead. To the right stand a carved stone pillar with relief figures and a brass oil lamp. The figure is the only physical person visible, and no printed name or caption appears.
