A seated man with long dark hair and a crown-like headpiece sits on a small silver platform inside a white flower-garlanded swing frame. He wears a maroon-red robe, multiple strands of white and pink flower garlands, a large gold pendant, and bangles. Behind him stands an ornate golden throne with lion-head armrests, a red cushion and a tiger-striped drape. Brass trident staffs, a brass deity figure holding a lamp, tall brass lamp stands and a red carpet frame the scene. The setting suggests a temple-style stage for a pushpabhishekam and padapuja ceremony.
