A man with swept-back dark hair and a vertical white-and-red forehead mark sits smiling on an ornate gold throne carved with lion heads and a tiger-skin cushion. He wears a rust-brown dhoti-style robe, a rudraksha mala, gold bangles and a long garland of red and yellow flowers. Brass bells and oil lamps hang beside the throne. In front of him stand silver plates of flowers, petals and offerings. To the right, a woman in white with a white forehead mark and beads sits beside a young boy in orange, while a silver plate of offerings sits in the foreground.
