A seated man in a rust-brown dhoti with gold border sits on a leopard-print cushion before a large lion statue with a yellow flower garland and a colourful deity murti. He wears long layered garlands of white jasmine, red and yellow flowers, green leaves and red apples, plus multiple rudraksha malas and a gold chain, with rudraksha bracelets on his arms. He holds a silver staff topped with a lion-head finial in each hand, and a silver staff with a lion-head top stands beside him. A red tilak marks his forehead and his long dark hair falls past his shoulders. Flower petals and marigold strands lie on the platform, and a blue-and-striped cloth covers the seat behind him. The scene suggests a festival-day ritual setting.
