A seated man with long dark hair, a red bindi and a trimmed beard sits on an ornate white-and-red throne chair beneath a multicoloured fringed parasol, wearing a rust-red robe and a thin gold chain. Hands rest loosely in his lap and he smiles calmly. The a person appearance cue is his long swept-back hair with ceremonial gold neck adornment, seated on the throne. Beside him, two attendants in orange garments stand; one has a white cloth blindfold and another wears a white dhoti and bare upper body with white markings on the arm and chest. A brass oil lamp, a small black deity murti decorated with white flowers, a gold lion sculpture, and garlands in purple, white and red hang in the background.
