A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved arched back and lion-head armrests, against a dark red velvet backdrop. He wears a red tilak, a long beaded garland, gold necklaces, and gold armbands, and he holds a small ritual object in his hands. A silver vessel with a tall stem and a small silver lamp stand on a red-draped table beside silver bowls, a silver plate, and a gold-coloured bowl. A gold lion statue flanks each side of the table, and a second person's hand is visible at the left edge holding a tray.
