A seated man in a gilded, ornately carved golden throne with red velvet cushions raises both hands high, palms open, in a blessing or ceremonial gesture. He is bare-chested with a saffron-orange shawl draped over his shoulders and wrapped at the waist, wears a dark rudraksha mala with a large gold pendant and gold chains, a red bindi and white vibhuti marks on his forehead, and a thick dark rudraksha band on his head. Behind him stands a large, brightly coloured painted deity murti with orange skin, a red-and-green crown, a flowing red garland, golden ornaments and a raised golden staff with a bell. Hanging brass lamps and a water bottle are visible at the edges. The scene suggests a throne ceremony or darshan in a temple-style hall.
