A seated man on an ornate gilded throne, bare-chested with a black turban bearing a crescent moon and a white forehead mark with a red bindi. He wears heavy gold necklaces, bangles and a tiger-striped waist cloth over maroon dhoti, with his right hand raised in a blessing gesture. Flanking him are gold-coloured statues of a deity holding a bowl and a goddess playing a veena, and a lamp-topped golden stand hangs at each side against draped gold fabric. The setting is a warm, golden-toned devotional tableau.
