A figure in a rust-brown saffron-toned robe sits cross-legged on a low golden platform in front of an ornate gilded shrine arch. He wears a long beaded necklace and a gold pendant, and raises one hand in blessing. Behind him, a large golden deity murti with a crown and a multi-headed cobra hood stands under a canopy, flanked by two smaller seated figures in jewelled garments. Gold lamps on stands, tall brass bells hanging above, and a trident leaning beside him complete the scene. Carved golden panels with animal reliefs frame the stage, and a golden lion sculpture sits at the foot of the platform. The setting suggests a stage-set shrine with a striped cloth on the floor.
