A seated man in a rust-brown dhoti-style garment and matching upper cloth sits on an ornate silver throne encrusted with red, green and white gemstones, its canopy and carved lion-headed arms prominent. He wears a long yellow and red flower garland, a gold ceremonial pendant and rudraksha-style beads, with white vibhuti markings on his forehead. A fire pit with burning flames sits in the foreground, with brass vessels and flowers nearby; an oil lamp and a standing fan are at left, and a tiger-striped cushion rests on the throne steps. The setting is an open pavilion under a corrugated roof with foliage behind. The man is seated on the throne as the central figure, and the scene suggests a homa or puja.
