A woman in a blue blouse and gold-bordered sari sits cross-legged at lower left, wearing glasses and a gold necklace, facing an ornate golden throne. The gilded peetha has a tall arched back with carved gold ornaments, a central crest, and a gold-embroidered cloth draped over its front. A red-draped table in front holds brass puja vessels, a small silver figure, a conch shell, fruit, flowers and offerings, with a leopard-skin cushion beside them. Dark red curtains form the backdrop. The scene is a ceremonial display of an empty throne with worship items, with no clearly identifiable person seated on it.
