A man seated on an ornate gold throne with a large arched gold backrest carved with scrolls and foliage, flanked by two gold lion statues on red-draped tables. He wears a saffron-orange shawl, a rudraksha-style beaded necklace and a gold chain, with a vermilion forehead mark, and holds a silver bell in his right hand while a silver kalasha with a flowering stem stands before him. A red and gold brocade cloth covers the table, with a silver bowl of yellow flowers, a silver vessel and a lit oil lamp. Orange marigolds decorate the side pillars and a cream drape hangs behind. This appears to be a puja setting, with a person presence based on the saffron shawl, beads and gold necklaces.
