A seated man in a maroon-red sleeveless robe and dhoti with gold border sits on an ornate carved wooden throne covered with leopard-print cushions. He wears long rudraksha mala necklaces, rudraksha bracelets on his arms and wrists, a gold pendant, and a white tripundra mark with a red bindi on his forehead. He holds a long silver staff with a decorative top in his raised right hand and smiles toward the camera. Behind him, a large illuminated backdrop shows a gold-panelled wall and a painted deity murti with a tall crown in turquoise tones. Flowers are blurred in the lower right foreground.
