A seated man with closed eyes sits cross-legged on a swing seat hung from a garland-wrapped gold frame, beneath a white-flower-festooned swing structure. He wears a crown-like gold headpiece, rudraksha-style gold necklaces, bangles, and a deep red robe. Behind him stand a gold trident, an ornate gold-and-red throne with a tiger-striped cushioned bed, and red drapery.
