A seated man in rust-orange robes and a leopard-print shawl sits cross-legged on an ornate gold-carved throne with a tiger-striped cushion. He wears multiple strands of beaded gold and rudraksha-style necklaces and a red tilak on his forehead. In the foreground a fire burns in a brick fire pit, with a hand feeding it. A small black monitor sits on the floor, and a patterned carpet lies beneath. The scene resembles a homa fire ritual, with the seated figure presiding.
