A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne with a gold canopy umbrella overhead, its backrest framed by garlands of red roses, yellow marigolds and green leaves. He holds a multicoloured flower garland in both hands and smiles. A bare-headed priest in white dhoti kneels at the throne's base, offering pooja items, while a woman in white sari kneels at the right edge. Brass plates hold fruit, flowers and offerings, with pink lotus blooms and oil lamps in front. The seated man is not clearly identified by appearance, so a person is unsure.
