A man with long swept-back hair sits cross-legged on a gold-decorated throne with a red velvet cushion, eyes closed in meditation. He wears a leopard-print shawl over bare shoulders, orange cloth at the waist, layered rudraksha malas and a heavy gold necklace, with a red bindi and white forehead markings and a rudraksha crown on his head. A golden trident stands behind him against a blue painted backdrop, with a damaru drum and a black kettle-like vessel beside him.
