A seated man in lotus posture sits on a gilded, ornately carved throne with a red cushioned top. He wears a leopard-print shawl over his bare chest, an orange-red dhoti, layered rudraksha malas and a gold necklace, with white ash markings on his forehead and arms and a tilak-like marking on his head. A golden trident stands to the right against a blue backdrop with draped cream fabric, and a small black kalasha-style vessel and a crystal sits at the left. The scene is a photo from a Shiva darshan setting.
