A man with long dark hair sits on a richly decorated golden throne with a red cushion and red backrest, framed by dense garlands of white jasmine, yellow and orange marigolds, and pink and red flowers. He wears a dark embroidered sherwani-style robe with sparkling threads, a black shawl draped over his shoulders, a gold chain, and a red-tipped bindi on his forehead, with his hands resting calmly on his knees. A striped garland of white and multicoloured flowers hangs across his chest. Behind the throne is a backdrop with painted figures of standing devotees in traditional dress with folded hands, and a gold kalasha-style pot with leaves sits at the lower left. Flower petals are scattered on the stage floor.
