A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne carved with lion-head armrests and draped with a striped tiger-skin cushion. He wears a long red, white and yellow garland, a rudraksha-style bead necklace, and bangles, with his bare feet resting on the throne's base. Before him on the floor, a gold tray holds silver plates of flowers, fruit and offerings, and several women in white and red saris sit with hands folded in prayer or anjali. Brass oil lamps and hanging brass bells surround the throne, and a wall-mounted air conditioner is visible in a dark-walled room. A person seated at the far right wears saffron.
