A figure seated on an ornate gold throne at the top of a short flight of stone steps, lined by a red carpet with gold edging. The seated figure wears saffron-orange draped robes, gold ornaments and a long dark hairstyle; the visual cues are consistent with a person presentation, seated on a throne, though identity is uncertain from appearance. Two large black stone lion guardians with red-painted mouths flank the steps, and a potted tree and palms stand in a courtyard with a shallow water pool and white pebbles. To the lower left, two painted deity murti with red and gold faces and trident-like attributes sit on a green-gold cloth, with a kalasha-like object nearby. Red and orange flowers accent the scene under a latticed wooden ceiling and carved brick architecture.
