A seated man in an ornate golden chair smiles warmly while reaching out to clasp the hands of a kneeling devotee. The seated figure wears a red turban with a small red tilak on the forehead, a long saffron-orange robe, a thick rudraksha mala and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace. The kneeling devotee, bare-chested with a white and gold-bordered dhoti draped at the waist and a red garland around his neck, faces him with hands joined. Gold-carved throne details, ornate gilded pillars and a shining decorative backdrop surround them.
