A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits on an ornate gold throne with a golden canopy umbrella, wearing a long multicolour garland and a rudraksha mala. He raises one hand in a blessing gesture. Gold ceremonial staffs with trident finials stand on either side, and a golden fan or chamara is at left. Confetti falls through hazy light in a temple hall with carved pillars and a deity murti visible in an arch behind. The figure matches the appearance cues for a person, seated in a role of honour on the throne.
