A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gilded throne with red velvet cushions and a floral garland arch of red, yellow, white and purple blooms. He holds a silver trident and raises one hand in blessing, wearing layered red and pink flower garlands, a leopard-print cloth and a white-and-red forehead marking. A tiger-striped cloth covers the platform. Beside him, a devotee in an orange garment and white-painted head holds a silver tray with a lit oil lamp, and a row of white-clothed ascetics with ash-smeared bodies stands behind under a decorated red-and-gold ceremonial parasol with a bird emblem and a second banner. Smoke rises in the night setting.
