A man stands on a red stage beside an ornate gold throne with a red velvet seat and carved gilded backrest, under a silver and red canopy. He wears a red turban, a red shawl over a leopard-print garment, a red and gold dhoti-style lower wrap, multiple beaded rudraksha-style malas and a large gold pendant necklace, with red bangles on his wrists. He holds a tall silver trident (trishul) upright in his right hand, one hand resting on the throne arm. The wall behind is carved reddish wood with elephant and floral panels.
