A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back hair and garlands of pink and white flowers sits on an ornate silver throne, facing a deity murti. To the left, a large seated deity murti of Shiva-like form with a crown, rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and red-and-white flower garlands sits on a golden pedestal beside a silver trident. Behind them is a stage backdrop of a sunset over water and a standing fan. The scene reflects a darshan setting. Two people are visible: the seated devotee-figure on the throne, and the murti is not a physical person.
