A seated man in a dark red-brown robe sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne draped with a striped tiger-skin cloth, flanked by golden lion heads. He wears a gold necklace, a long rudraksha mala, a crescent ornament and a tilak on his forehead, and raises both hands in a mudra near his chest. Behind him hang brass bells and a dark backdrop strung with beads, and a trident stands at left beside an oil lamp. Large orange-painted statues of deities frame the stage. Behind the speaker, a golden-yellow offering or lamp sits in the foreground.
