A man in a saffron-orange robe sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion and floral garlands, in the centre. To the left, a large clay deity murti with multiple arms and a white floral halo stands on a red base. To the right, a gold-framed shrine holds a standing deity figure in pink and gold garments with a crown and garlands. Brass oil lamps stand on the green floor on both sides. The seated figure is an appearance-based a person candidate: saffron robe and a regal throne setting, though facial and hair details are not clearly discernible.
