A seated man in an ornate golden throne (peetha) raises both palms in a blessing gesture, smiling. He wears an orange-red saffron robe, a gold crown, layered gold necklaces, a long pink flower garland, gold armlets and bangles, and a white vibhuti mark with a red bindi on his forehead. Two golden lion figures flank the throne, and a large relief carving with carved hands and figures forms the backdrop; a golden staff stands to the left. The man's identity is not established from appearance alone, so the role is described as a seated guru figure on a throne.
