A man sits cross-legged in lotus posture on a gilded golden platform with a red cushioned top, on a theatrical stage. He has long dark hair, a red tilak on the forehead with white ash marks, and a crown-like topknot, and wears a gold leopard-print shawl over bare shoulders, a rudraksha mala and gold necklaces, with an orange-red dhoti. White bands are wrapped on his upper arms and wrists, and his hands rest in his lap. Beside him stands a large golden trident with an orange cloth, and a small black kalasha-style vessel sits on the platform. The backdrop is a painted golden cloth over blue. The figure's identity is not established by the scene.
