A seated man on a gold throne is showered with pink rose petals during a pushpabhishekam. He wears a red garment, gold necklaces, a white flower garland and gold bangles. Behind him, a gold-coloured throne is flanked by gold lion-head armrests, and a golden trident stands at the left edge. A second man in a saffron-yellow kurta and shawl stands at left, lifting and pouring petals from above. A tiger-striped cloth covers the seat. The petals stream down densely across the central figure.
