A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a dark turban sits on an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushions, wearing a gold necklace and rudraksha-style beads, with a red tilak on his forehead. A shaved-headed attendant in orange dhoti stands before him, extending his hands to offer something over a silver trident stand. Beside the throne, a deity murti of a bull is adorned with red and white garlands, and a large gold bull statue with garlands stands at the right edge. The backdrop shows a painted temple-style scene in red, green and gold, with a red curtain above and brass bowls at lower left. The setting resembles a stage darshan with ritual offerings.
