A seated man with a dark beard and long hair tied up in a leopard-print headwrap sits on an ornate silver throne with a silver staff beside it. He wears a rust-orange wrap, multiple rudraksha malas, a gold necklace and bangles, and a red mark on his forehead, and raises one hand in blessing. To the left, a shaved-headed devotee in a white headband and orange cloth bows, with other attendants in orange and white standing nearby. The setting is a gold-toned temple hall with carved pillars. The appearance of the seated man is consistent with the a person cues: rudraksha malas, orange clothing and ornate adornments, seated on a throne.
