A seated man in copper-orange robes sits on a golden ceremonial dais in front of an ornate golden shrine, with a tiger-striped cloth draped over his lap. He wears a long gold-and-beaded necklace, bangles, a red tilak on his forehead and a crown-like headdress. Beside him rests a gilded lion figure and a tall pink-and-white staff, with brass oil lamps flanking the stage. Behind him sit two gold-clad deity figures under a golden arch with cobra-hood motifs. A person with long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha-style beads fits the presentation cues, but the face is not clearly enough visible to confirm, so the identity is uncertain.
