A seated figure with long, swept-back dark hair, wearing a rust-red shawl with a rudraksha mala and a bare shoulder, sits in an ornate gilded throne chair with carved golden backrest. He holds his hands together near his face in a greeting gesture while a man in a white shirt with an orange-red patterned shawl stands before him with palms pressed together in namaskar. Behind them stand a gilded silver staff, golden garlands draped on display stands, and green potted plants with white lilies.
