A man with long dark hair and a red bindi stands before an ornate golden throne with a red and black tiger-striped cushioned seat. He wears a saffron-orange robe with a long white and red flower garland, a rudraksha mala and a gold chain. Behind him are painted orange-robed sages with raised palms, and a golden trident stands at left beside a golden lion-form base. Fresh flowers and orange marigold garlands decorate the dais.
