A seated man in a dark niche at night is the central figure, flanked by two large orange-lit statues of dvarapala guardian figures with multiple arms holding ceremonial objects. The seated man wears a red-brown robe, a long rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, and sits on a cushioned throne with gold lion-head armrests, his hands resting on his lap. Strings of fairy lights and hanging bells frame the dark backdrop, a trident stands to his left, and a small brass oil lamp burns in front of the throne. The figure's face is shown, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity.
