A seated man on a leopard-print cushioned throne wears a dark, tall turban-style headwrap, an orange-brown robe, a red-and-yellow flower garland, and gold necklaces; he smiles and holds an orange in each hand, one extended toward a devotee. A bare-chested young man in a white dhoti with gold border and a leopard-print headband stands at left, holding a rudraksha mala and having his hands placed on his chest-level area by an attendant. A saffron-robed attendant stands behind holding an orange and a green book. A man in a white checked shirt bends low and touches the red carpet near the throne, while a young boy in white kneels at lower right. Ornate silver and gold embroidered cloth covers the back of the throne, with a silver lion-head ornament on the dais.
