A seated man in a rust-brown saffron-toned robe sits on an ornate silver-framed throne with red cushioning, wearing a heavy gold necklace, rudraksha bracelets and a tilak on his forehead, his eyes closed as he raises a bundle of green leaves overhead. Beside him a bare-chested priest in a white dhoti with a green and maroon border and a red headband holds a white mesh basket and a small vessel, appearing to offer or sprinkle during a ritual. Silver lion figures flank the throne and a grey stone pillar with carved panels stands behind them, with orange cloth hangings and brass vessels in the background.
