A man in a maroon silk kurta and dhoti with gold-edged borders sits cross-legged on an ornate carved seat or throne against a backdrop of green leaves lit in green light. He wears a long beaded mala with a pendant, a sacred thread, and a dark tilak on his forehead, and holds a tall white staff in his right hand. The seat is draped with a striped tiger-patterned cloth, and a carved stone lion or animal figure sits beside the throne. Stage-style lighting and the staged setting suggest a performance or tableau.
