A seated man in an ornate golden-brown leopard-print garment and a long rudraksha-style mala with ceremonial gold necklaces sits cross-legged on a gilded, red-topped peetha throne. He has a tilak on his forehead, a small crown-like topknot, long hair and white cloth bands on his upper arms, his hands folded in his lap and gazing upward. Behind him a painted backdrop of a snowy mountain against a blue sky frames a golden trident on a stand. A white electric fan sits at lower left and a small decorative object on the throne's left. The figure's ornate saffron-and-gold attire, mala and crown-like topknot match the appearance cues of a person, seated in a meditative or darshan posture on the throne.
