A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate golden throne platform in front of a gilded arch flanked by carved golden pillars. He wears a rudraksha mala and a large ceremonial gold necklace, and raises one hand in blessing while holding a small object in the other. Behind him, three deity murtis in gold and jewelled ornaments sit in the arch, with cobra hoods rising behind them. Brass oil lamps stand on either side, a trident leans beside the throne, and a tiger-skin cushion lies at his feet. The stage has a patterned striped rug and a gilded seated lion or tiger figure in the foreground.
