A bearded man stands barefoot on a golden dais in front of an ornate gold throne, dressed as a Bhairava-style deity. He wears a tall gold crown with a cobra hood, a rudraksha-like gold necklace and layered bead garlands, gold armbands and bracelets, and a tiger-striped waist cloth over dark maroon dhoti with gold borders. He holds a silver staff with black tassels in one hand and rests the other on his hip. Beside him stand a silver trident and a silver drum-shaped instrument, and a decorated silver kalasha sits on a small stand at left. White and red marks decorate his face and body. a person is shown in the costumed Bhairava darshan image, with the crown, gold ornaments and tiger-skin-style waist cloth as cues; the depiction is a posed photograph.
