A man with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne carved with floral and deity panels, with a golden lion-shaped armrest at left and a tiger-striped cloth draped over the seat. He wears a rust-orange shawl over bare shoulders, a rudraksha mala and a large ceremonial gold necklace, and gold armbands and bangles, and presses his palms together in a greeting gesture. Behind him a brass hanging oil lamp and dark maroon curtains frame the stage.
