A seated man in a golden-brown throne with ornate gold carved arms and a red-brown turban-like cloth on the armrest reaches out to touch an ornate silver-and-gold kalasha held by a younger man. The seated man wears a saffron-orange garment, a long gold ceremonial necklace, and a rudraksha-style mala, and has a red-brown wrap across his shoulders. The younger man, bare-chested with a yellow shawl over his shoulder and white dhoti with a red border, holds the decorated pot with a green leaf and flowers. A maroon curtain forms the backdrop, and a gold lion-shaped figure sits beside the throne.
