A figure with long dark swept-back hair and green-painted face stands on a red throne-like dais, holding a silver trident upright in one hand while the other hand rests on the hip. The figure wears an orange and gold dhoti-style garment, a leopard-print bodice, rudraksha-style mala beads, bangles and an armband. Behind is a large gold arched prabhavali with repoussé patterns, a red and purple cosmic backdrop with a red crescent, and brass oil lamps stand on either side. Marigold garlands lie at the base. This appears to be a staged costumed portrayal rather than a plain ceremonial seat, and the figure's identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
