Outdoor scene on red sandstone steps. A man with long dark hair and beard sits cross-legged on a silver-backed throne draped in red cloth, wearing an orange-saffron robe and a long rudraksha mala, holding a silver trident upright in one hand while his eyes are closed and he smiles. Before him are a gold lion figure and fruit-and-flower offerings on a patterned rug. Behind him, two men in white ritual dress stand with palms pressed together, and a woman in an orange sari stands under a saffron umbrella. Fans and a cooler are placed on the steps, and more devotees sit at the right.
