A standing man in saffron-orange robes and a bare upper body stands in front of an ornate golden throne (peetha) backed by a large gilded arch. He wears a rudraksha mala and a heavy ceremonial gold necklace, and holds a tall silver staff in his right hand while raising his left palm in greeting. Two seated deity figures flank the throne, one in a golden crown, and a carved golden lion sits at the front. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides, with hanging bells above and a hazy warm light filling the room.
