A man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved crown-like top and a gold canopy above. He wears a jeweled crown, white jasmine garlands and a long red-and-white flower garland, and holds a tall white flower-wrapped staff in his right hand while his left hand is raised in blessing. Behind the throne is a golden deity murti decorated with colourful flower garlands, and a brass oil lamp stands nearby. At lower left a bare-chested attendant in white dhoti holds a lit lamp toward the throne. The throne sits on a red carpet with patterned motifs. Only the seated figure and the attendant are physically present, so the scene contains two visible people.
