A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha-style brown beaded necklace and a white vibhuti line on his forehead sits on a golden throne flanked by gilded lion figures and a peacock-feather fan. Facing him, a man in a white t-shirt and orange shawl raises his right palm toward him in a blessing gesture, while a woman in red-and-gold is partly visible at the right edge. A silver ceremonial staff stands behind the throne, with green foliage and bamboo-like panels behind them. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with a person, given his saffron robes and beaded necklace, while being honoured on a throne; the identity is not fully certain.
