A man with long dark hair and a crown-like headdress sits on a red throne against a golden backdrop, hands pressed in namaskar with eyes closed. He wears orange and saffron cloth, a gold necklace and bracelets, and a rudraksha-style mala. The throne is framed by a large arch of yellow, orange, white and red garlands, with a gold dais and golden figures behind. Before him lies a heap of fruits, flowers, green leaves and garlands. Attendants in white and orange clothes stand nearby, one holding a basket and a metal bowl. This appears to be a puja offering setting; the seated man is a person by appearance cues including long swept hair, saffron clothing and ornate gold jewellery.
