A bare-chested man with long dark hair sits on an ornate silver throne with a red cushion, eyes closed and right palm raised in blessing. He wears a rust-orange shawl, gold ceremonial chains, a gold pendant and multiple red and gold beaded bracelets, with a vertical red bindi and white tilak on his forehead. In his left hand he holds a slender white ritual stick or wand. Blurred seated attendees fill the foreground and background of the hall.
