A seated man in a rust-brown robe sits on a red-cushioned silver and gold ornate palanquin-style seat under a silver canopy. He wears a long multicoloured flower garland with a white and red strand, a white tilak on his forehead, and a rudraksha-style mala at his neck; his feet are bare on a red cloth. Red and white flower swags hang from the canopy, a silver trident stands at left and a tall garland-wrapped pillar at right. Brass lamps and offerings surround the seat.
