A bearded man with a tall twisted black topknot and a white tilak on his forehead sits on an ornate gold-carved brown leather throne, holding a small gold trident-tipped sceptre to his nose in a meditative gesture. He wears a red-orange shawl over the upper body, layered rudraksha-bead and white-bead garlands with a large gold pendant, gold bangles and a leopard-print lower garment. A gold trident-topped staff stands at the left edge. Behind him, a large blurred screen shows figures, and a seated audience in mixed clothing fills the background of a hall with red curtains. a person in person, seated in a ceremonial role as the presiding figure. Tilak and trident motifs are visible.
