A single man stands in a warmly lit, ornate golden shrine or stage set. He wears a rust-orange and brown draped cloth with a gold waist sash, a rudraksha-style mala, and a sacred thread-like cord across the chest, with a bindi-like mark on his forehead. He holds a long ceremonial staff with his left hand while extending his right arm outward. Behind him is a gilded arched niche with a deity murti and a large gold-framed throne-like seat draped in gold cloth. Hanging bells and lamp fixtures hang from the dark red curtain above, and a red-gold ceremonial object sits at his feet. Gilded carved panels frame the scene on both sides.
