A seated figure in an orange-brown robe and matching saffron turban sits on an ornate gold throne framed by a rainbow arch of red, yellow, green and orange flower garlands. A long red and white mala and a gold ceremonial necklace hang on his chest. Beside him, a kneeling attendant in white dhoti and shawl offers something from a silver tray; silver bowls and plates of flowers and fruit sit on the floor. Pillars carved with figures and hanging bells stand at the sides, with a small deity murti decorated with red garlands to the right.
