A seated man in orange and saffron robes sits smiling on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a carved gold back, wearing a tilak on his forehead, layered gold and beaded necklaces, and gold armlets. Beside him stand two painted wooden deity murtis: the left figure wears an orange crown and orange dhoti and holds up a hand, the right figure wears a white-and-gold crown and white-and-orange garment with a flower-decorated garland. Red drapes, pink and white flower arrangements, a black-and-gold ceremonial staff and a patterned cloth lie before the throne. The swami appears to be a person, identified by the saffron robes, ornate gold necklaces and armlets, and his ceremonial seat, a presence on the throne rather than an identity established from the face. Fewer than five people are visible, with only the central seated figure as a physical person.
