A seated figure in an ornate gold throne, wearing a rudraksha mala and a rust-orange cloth, sits before a blue-and-pink temple backdrop flanked by two painted, crowned guardian figures holding clubs and a trident. In front, a kneeling monk in orange robes lights a lamp or aarti flame, while a woman in maroon sari and beaded necklace kneels nearby beside brass oil lamps on a white-striped tiger-print cloth. The scene suggests a ritual of worship before the throne, with lamps lit around the central seat.
