A seated man in a red-brown robe sits on an ornate silver throne with a red velvet seat, wearing a dark turban topped with a golden crescent ornament, a gold necklace, a pink and white flower garland, and gold armlets. An attendant in a bright orange robe and a rudraksha mala stands at left, bending forward to offer a small silver dish. Behind them are carved dark wooden screens and a stone wall, with smoke drifting through the room and a rolled colourful mat on the floor. The seated figure has a candidate appearance with a crescent crown, ornate gold jewellery and a throne setting, so the identity is uncertain. The attendant offers a dish in a ritual setting, possibly an aarti or puja.
