A seated man in an orange saffron robe with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi sits on a white-draped chair under a corrugated roof, holding a gold trident aloft in one hand and gesturing with the other. Beside him stands a small gold deity murti in an arched gold frame, with a gold pyramid-shaped kalasha-like object on the floor.
