A seated man in a dark maroon-brown dhoti and wrap sits on a red cushioned throne with an ornate gold back. He wears a black-and-white leopard-print headwrap, a long garland of yellow marigolds, red and pink flowers and white blossoms, and a gold pendant on a chain. A silver trident stands at the left of the throne. At right, a younger attendant in an orange turban and orange wrap, with rudraksha beads and white sandalwood markings on his bare shoulder, pours or offers water from a glass vessel holding green leaves. Another orange-clad attendant is partly visible behind. The setting appears to be a temple-style hall with red pillars.
