A seated bearded man in a rust-brown robe and matching turban sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, one hand raised to his forehead. He wears a heavy gold necklace and multiple garlands. A shirtless attendant in white dhoti and a cloth on his shoulder bends forward holding a metal plate. Behind the throne a gilded deity murti stands before a yellow cloth and red drapes, with brass lamps, potted green plants and a clay pot nearby, and a microphone stand is at right. The bearded man shows distinctive saffron-brown robes, a turban and layered gold ornaments, consistent with the probable presence of a person, seated in a ceremonial role during a puja.
