A man with long dark hair, a full beard, white ash markings and a red bindi sits on an ornate red and gold throne, wearing a saffron-red shawl over his bare shoulders and a gold pendant. He raises a small golden ritual wand with a flame-like tip in his right hand. Beside him stands a large silver trident on a pole. Behind and below, seated devotees in white clothes with saffron-red shawls and rudraksha malas listen, one holding a bell-like object. The setting is a bright hall with pale walls and framed artwork.
