A seated figure on a gold ornate throne with leopard-print cushions wears a dark wrapped turban, a red-and-blue flower garland, a red-brown robe and gold necklaces. A man in a red robe with an orange shawl and grey ponytail bends forward and is held at the shoulders, and the seated figure has one hand on his back. Behind them, women in saffron, red and teal garments and a seated figure in red stand around, with a silver trident-shaped staff on the left and brass lamps in the background. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and ornate gold adornments, so the appearance is a person seated on the throne, bestowing a blessing on a devotee during a darshan-style interaction.
