A seated man in a dark red-maroon robe sits on an ornate gilded throne with leopard-print cushions and a tiger-skin draping, centred in a temple shrine. He wears a long gold-and-bead necklace and a gold pendant, with bare arms adorned with gold armbands and bracelets, and bare feet. Hands rest palms-up on his knees in a meditative pose. Flanking the throne are two painted, gold-jewelled dvarapala-style guardian figures in orange dhotis and green sashes, holding a kalasha-like lamp and a mace. Lit brass oil lamps and hanging bells appear at left and top, and a golden arch crowns the throne. A pure photograph of the shrine scene.
