A seated figure in a golden ornate throne with red cushions sits centrally, wearing a dark red-brown robe over a sash, a wrapped red-brown turban, a gold ceremonial necklace with a central pendant, gold armlets and a long pink-and-white flower garland. Two priests in white-and-saffron cloth kneel at the base of the throne, one holding a lit oil lamp and the other offering a lamp toward the seated figure's feet during a padapuja. Golden deity murti figures stand on both sides, and hanging bells and lamps surround the throne. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure is shown in a throne with a turban, ceremonial gold necklace, and saffron-toned robes.
