A seated figure in a red-orange turban with a crescent ornament and a purple flower garland, wearing a rudraksha mala and a large gold pendant, sits smiling on a golden lion-headed throne before an ornate floral backdrop of yellow, orange and red marigolds. A standing attendant in white dhoti with gold border and rudraksha beads holds a silver trident up while another attendant in a red velvet cloth assists; a shaved-headed devotee kneels at lower left. The scene appears to be a ceremonial ritual on a stage, with a microphone stand visible at right.
