A life-size cutout portrait of a smiling bearded man in a rust-red turban and saffron-red robe stands on a carved gold throne with a red velvet seat, flanked by lion-headed armrests. He wears layered garlands of white and orange flowers, rudraksha beads and a gold pendant, with bangles on both wrists, and his right hand is raised in blessing. In front of the throne on a checkered marble floor sit a brass tray holding two silver-coloured paduka sandals decorated with pink flower petals, a small brass plate of rose petals, and a brass bowl with ash or sacred substance. A single oil lamp burns at right, and flower garlands hang along the yellow wall. a person is depicted as a printed cutout portrait on the throne, not as a physical person, so no physical people are present.
