A man with long dark hair and a full beard sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head arms and a tiered golden canopy, red cushions and a red-and-gold stepped base. He wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over his body, a pink-and-white flower garland, gold necklaces and gold bangles, with a red tilak on his forehead, and presses his palms together in greeting. Behind him, a painted backdrop shows a deity with raised hands holding a mirror and a lit lamp, with gold leaf foliage above and deep red curtains at the sides. A gold trident stands at the left, and a red-and-gold cloth rests on the platform before the throne. The figure appears to be a person, a sannyasi in saffron clothes with a rudraksha mala and gold necklace, seated in person on the throne.
