A golden ornate peetha throne with a carved peacock-like side motif and a red velvet cushion draped over its seat, set before a red curtain. Seated on it is a statue of a figure in a teal turban and teal-and-gold garment, with heavy gold necklaces, bejewelled armbands and a pink flower garland around the neck. Two brass oil lamps and a conch shell stand before the throne, and a woven basket of pink petals and a lit lamp sit in the foreground. A golden canopy hangs above. The figure is a statue, not a living person, and the throne and display are an ornamented ritual setting.
