The seated person wears an orange-brown garment, rudraksha-style beads, gold ornaments and bangles, and is adorned with white and pink flower garlands, with red cushions beside them.

Golden lion-head armrests flank the throne, and a golden trident stands at the left edge. The scene depicts a pushpabhishekam offering of petals, with the seated figure's face largely covered by falling petals.
