A seated man in a rust-red robe sits eyes closed on a golden throne backed by an ornate gold halo-shaped backrest, with a pink and white flower garland around his neck. A standing figure in orange robes and an orange headcloth, seen from behind, raises a silver ritual lamp or aarti vessel toward him. Painted deity statues flank the left side, one wearing a gold crown and necklace, and a carved wooden lattice door sits to the right. Leopard-print cushions cover the seat, and hanging brass bells appear above the throne. a person is the seated figure: he sits on the throne, in red robes, with a garland, which is a throne-and-garland presentation rather than a distinctive appearance match, so the identity remains uncertain.
