A seated man in a rust-red robe with a long rudraksha mala draped to his lap sits on an ornate gold throne carved with lions and floral scrollwork, smiling and gesturing with his right hand. A tiger-striped cloth covers the throne base, and a red cushion sits behind him. Before him, a bare-chested, shaved-headed man in a white dhoti with a red border bows low and reaches toward him in ritual homage. To the left, a young man in saffron-orange robes and a gold chain necklace stands watching, with red bangles on his wrist. The setting is a golden-throne ceremony, consistent with a padapuja or honouring ritual.
