A bare-chested man sits cross-legged on a red velvet cushion before an ornate gilded throne with embossed floral scrollwork. His face is obscured by a white blur while his hands are pressed together at his face in a gesture of devotion. He wears long rudraksha malas, a gold chest ornament, and a beaded rust-orange waist belt over rust-orange dhoti-style cloth. A small brass lamp or offering vessel sits at the bottom edge of the frame, and the background is dark. The scene reads as a ritual sitting with a devotee-like posture before the throne.
