A seated man on an ornate white and red throne wears a dark red-brown robe, a crown-like headpiece with a crescent ornament, gold armlets, and a long garland of white and pink flowers with red roses. He raises one hand in blessing with eyes closed. Beside him, a shaved-headed assistant in orange clothing and rudraksha beads holds a tray of fruit and coconut halves and stands on a patterned rug with scattered flower petals.
