A seated man in a red garment sits on a gold-and-red cushioned throne (peetha) at the centre of a decorated stage, wearing a white turban-like headwrap and a long white flower garland. The throne is framed by an arch of garlands in red, green, yellow and purple. Flanking him are two standing attendants in orange-and-gold clothing holding staffs. On the left, a golden bull (nandi-style vahana) carries a garlanded pair of deities under a red canopy; on the right, a golden peacock-like vahana carries a garlanded standing figure in orange. A small red rug lies in front, and a camera and monitor are visible in the foreground. Pale blue temple-style columns and gold arches decorate the backdrop.
