A seated bearded man in a maroon-red robe with a rudraksha mala and gold necklace sits cross-legged on a gold-framed throne in a shrine-like alcove, raising both hands with index and middle fingers extended in a blessing gesture. Two large orange-painted deity statues with multiple arms flank the alcove, one holding a trident-like staff. Strings of bells and fairy lights hang in front, and a silver trident stands to the side with a brass lamp and a golden kalasha-like vessel below. The setting suggests darshan in a decorated temple-style hall.
