A seated man in a saffron-orange wrap and leopard-print lower cloth, wearing a long pink and white rose garland with green leaves, sits on a red velvet throne with a gold lion-head armrest. He holds a folded white paper out to a kneeling devotee in a white shirt and orange shawl, whose hands are pressed together in anjali. A tall silver trident stands beside them, with a gold-toned base. Behind them a banner shows temple imagery in red and orange, and women in orange and white stand in the background. Appearance cues are ambiguous, so the seated figure's identity is uncertain.
