A seated man with closed eyes sits on a red cushioned throne backed by a large gold lotus-petal arch inside a temple shrine. He wears a gold-embroidered headpiece, a dark red-brown dhoti-style cloth draped over his shoulders, a heavy gold necklace with pendant and multiple bead strands, and gold armlets on both upper arms, with a red tilak mark on his forehead. Behind him stand ornately decorated deity murtis, one figure in a red and green garment with a raised hand, and a second figure beside it in a red garment, all garlanded with colourful flower strands. Tall brass lamp stands flank the throne, and a red curtain and gold-decorated walls frame the shrine. The person in the foreground appears to be a person (appearance-based label), presented as seated in meditation while devotees' offerings and decorations surround him.
