A man seated on a carved wooden throne with a silver-gilt back, draped in garlands of red, yellow and purple flowers and a gold-toned cloth, wears a green and gold headpiece, a leopard-print cloth over his lap, a rudraksha-style mala and ceremonial bangles, and holds a tall silver staff. Beside him stand golden statues of female figures with folded hands, and a gilded deity murti is decked with garlands, under a small pink and gold canopy. A red curtain and a starry night-sky backdrop fill the background, with a standing fan and a brass oil lamp on the stage.
