A seated man in a golden ornate throne on a gold lion-form base wears an orange-brown dhoti and shawl, a red and yellow-striped garland of flowers, and gold bangles, with a gold necklace; he looks to the side with hands resting on the armrest. Before him on the floor, a gold tray arranged with silver plates of flowers, sweets and oil lamps is set out for puja.

Hanging brass oil lamps and a wall air conditioner appear in the background.
