He has long swept-back dark hair and a vertical tilak on his forehead, and is placing an orange-brown rudraksha mala over the head of a kneeling devotee in a white short-sleeved shirt and grey trousers. A third person's hand holds a small device at the left edge, and the golden throne carries embossed deity relief panels.
