A seated man with closed eyes in meditative stillness, wearing an orange turban with a red tilak on his forehead, an orange garment, a red-and-white flower garland with green leaves and lime-like fruit strands around his neck, and a gold serpent-shaped armlet on his upper arm. He sits on cushions surrounded by yellow and white marigold garlands in front of a large gilded decorative throne piece. Behind him a large painted or printed image of a deity with a jeweled crown, red lips and white face markings, flanked by gold ceremonial staffs wrapped with white flowers and red ribbons. Orange cloth draped over the seat, and the scene reads as a devotional stage setting with deity murti imagery.
