A seated man in an orange-brown robe with a gold-bordered cloth sits on an ornate gilded throne backed by a tall golden arch and mandala-like panels of red, yellow, purple and green flowers. He wears a long white and maroon-red flower garland, a gold necklace with a pendant, gold armlets and bracelets, and a white vibhuti marking with a red dot on his forehead. He raises his right hand in a blessing gesture while a tiger-striped cloth covers the seat. In the left foreground, a hand holds a silver aarti lamp with three flames. Brass oil lamps hang from the back, and the throne-side floral arrangements complete the scene.
