A young man in an orange-saffron robe sits on an ornate golden throne (peetha) decorated with orange, white, and pink flower garlands and an orange-white garland canopy above. He holds a silver trident (trishul) upright in his right hand, and his feet rest on a saffron cloth on the seat. Floral arrangements in orange, yellow, pink and purple flank the throne on a striped runner, with brass lamps and a small metal figure of a deity at the base. Behind them is a white and red checkered wall with white chairs in the background. Devotees' heads are visible at the lower edge. The setting suggests a ceremonial darshan.
