A man stands on a raised golden stage holding a tall staff topped with a trident, wearing a rust-red dhoti and shawl, a gold-and-beaded necklace, bangles and a crown-like ornament on his head. Behind him is an ornate golden arch and shrine-like backdrop with carved gold pillars, flanking gold deity figures adorned with jewellery and a brass oil lamp stand on each side. In front, a small ornate brass lion or vahana figure sits at the lower right, and smoke or haze fills the warm, reddish-lit stage. The setting resembles a temple-style stage for a ceremony or darshan.
