A man seated on an ornate gold-leaf throne with a leopard-print cushion, wearing a black turban, white forehead markings and a kumkum dot, an orange-red saffron cloth draped over his body, multiple rudraksha malas and a gold necklace. He sits with eyes closed and right hand raised in a blessing gesture. Two brass bells hang on chains beside the throne, which is flanked by carved golden lion heads. Strings of small lamps frame the scene. Seated devotees in the foreground have their backs to the camera, and a painted deity figure stands at the right edge. Setting appears to be a temple-like hall.
