A seated man sits on an ornate gold throne (peetha) with leopard-print cushions and a tiger skin draped over the seat, with a golden lion head on the armrest. He wears a rust-orange robe, a pink and white flower garland, a gold pendant, a beaded mala, and gold bangles, and raises one hand in blessing. A gilded throne canopy with hanging brass bells and a red and green floral garland frames him, with a golden lion and a golden figure at the base. A deity murti stands to the left. A candidate wearing a gold-accented saffron robe and ceremonial gold necklace on a throne with a tiger skin, with a visible forehead mark, is consistent with a person in the throne-and-regalia setting, but the figure's face and build are not clearly distinctive enough to confirm identity, so this is marked unsure.
