A figure in a red turban, green silk garment with a striped border, gold armlets and a long gold necklace sits on the throne and rests a bare hand on the forehead of a man in a cream kurta who bows forward with hands cupped around a red tray. Behind them a woman in a brown-gold sari with a rudraksha-style mala watches. A second figure in saffron-orange robes with beads stands at the back. The background shows a floral backdrop of yellow, red and white flowers and a decorated deity image.
