A seated man with a full beard and white vibhuti marks on his forehead wears a rust-brown robe, a red-maroon turban with a small gold ornament, and a long gold ceremonial necklace. He sits on an ornate golden throne carved with a sunburst-like backrest and two golden lion figures, its seat covered in leopard-print fabric, and he presses his palms together in a greeting gesture while smiling. Behind him, several attendants stand at night under string lights: a bare-chested man with white markings and gold necklaces wears a white dhoti, a woman in orange garments and jewelry stands nearby, and another woman in a white sari sits at the lower right. The scene suggests a night ceremony with a throne and devotees.
