A seated man in maroon-red robes and a matching maroon turban sits on an ornate gold throne with carved scrollwork and a golden cobra-hood backrest, before red drapes. He wears a pink and white flower garland, a rudraksha mala, a gold pendant necklace, and a bindi-style tilak on his forehead, with gold armlets on his arms. A trident (trishula) stands at the left of the throne, a small wooden side table holds a white cup, a microphone stand is at right, and brass oil lamps flank the dais on a striped rug. A small brass ritual object sits in the foreground.
