A seated man with swept-back dark hair, a white forehead marking and a dark red-brown robe with a gold-toned shoulder drape is smiling as he rests his right hand on the head of a young boy in a white top with a red cord around his neck. He holds a white garland loop in his other hand and a gold beaded necklace hangs on his chest. Behind them, a deity murti or throne is decorated with multicolour flower garlands, and a white-clad woman stands in the doorway beside two white fans. The seating is upholstered in red tiger-stripe fabric, with a gold lion-like figure at left.
