A seated figure sits on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions and lion-head armrests on a stage. The figure wears a saffron-orange cloth draped over the body, a rudraksha-style mala with white flowers, and a reddish turban-like headwear. Behind the throne is a pink and purple lotus-petal backdrop with a crescent moon and a large white trident, flanked by a painted cityscape of riverside buildings in pink light. The stage has a dark blue floor and is covered by a dark dome-shaped canopy. Appearance-based cues are consistent with a person seated in a ceremonial role, with long hair not visible but saffron clothing, garland and turban distinctive; identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
