A seated man in a rust-orange dhoti and shawl with gold borders sits on an ornate gold throne with a tiger-striped cloth draped over its seat. He wears a red-orange rudraksha-style mala and a heavy gold bead necklace, a red bindi on his forehead, and gold bangles, and he smiles with palms pressed together in greeting. Gold-plated lion-shaped armrests flank the throne, and brass oil lamps hang from the dark wall behind. In the foreground, two people in plain clothes are seated at the lower corners, one holding a small brass lamp, with an offering tray of glass cups in front of the throne.
