A man with long dark hair and a full beard sits smiling on an ornate white-and-silver throne in front of a golden deity murti of a goddess with multiple arms, holding a trident-like staff and a drum-like object. He wears a rust-brown ochre robe with an orange shawl over one shoulder, a multicoloured garland of white and red flowers, and a dark rudraksha mala. A tall brass trident stands to his left, with brass oil lamps and potted green plants around the red and green draped stage. A red tilak is visible on his forehead. Painted decorative pillars with elephant motifs flank the scene. Several people might be present beyond the seated man, but the frame shows only the single seated figure in the foreground.
