A seated man in an ornate golden throne with a carved golden back and red velvet cushions, centred between a bright yellow and turquoise painted pillar. He wears a cream-coloured turban with a small gold ornament, a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, a multi-strand rudraksha mala, a long garland of red and yellow flowers, gold bangles and a gold armband. Behind him stand black stone panels with brass hanging oil lamps lit overhead, and a brass lamp on a stand with a bird-shaped top holds a small flame at left. The mood is a formal sanctified setting.
