A man stands barefoot on a red carpeted stage in front of a gilded throne with red velvet cushions, beneath a fringed ornate parasol. He wears a red turban with a vertical tilak, a leopard-print garment over a red dhoti with gold borders, a red shawl, rudraksha mala beads, a heavy gold necklace, red bangles and earrings. He raises one hand in a blessing gesture and holds a silver trident in the other. The background shows carved golden wall panels.
