A figure with long dark hair, wearing a rust-orange robe, a pink and white flower garland, a gold waist band and arm bands, sits on an ornate wooden throne with a golden lion-shaped carving beside it. Before him, several women in white and orange shawls sit on a leopard-print cloth, lighting incense sticks and holding brass oil lamp trays and a plate of rose petals near his feet. Several other devotees sit behind them in the room.
