A seated man in an ornate gilded throne with lion-head armrests and a tiger-skin cushion is receiving padapuja. He wears a rust-orange dhoti and shawl with a gold border, a heavy gold necklace, a gold armlet and bangles, and long swept-back hair; the appearance is consistent with a person, seated on a peetha. Before him stand silver thalis of flower petals and offerings. A man in white kurta with an ID badge kneels nearby, and a woman in white with a red bindi and a man with tripundra forehead marks sit to the right. Brass bells hang behind, and a silver lamp stand and kalasha stand near the throne.
