A seated man on an ornate gold throne with red cushions sits before a large dark stone structure with a golden hooded carving above. He wears a maroon turban, a saffron-maroon robe, a long white and pink flower garland, a gold pendant, and a gold necklace. His right hand is raised near his forehead in a blessing gesture. Around him sit several women: those on the left wear orange-red and white garments with rudraksha-style beads, and a woman on the lower right wears an orange-red shawl with hands pressed together in namaste. A trident stands at the upper left. Brass offering plates with flowers and fruit rest on striped cloth in the foreground.
