A seated man in saffron-orange clothing with rudraksha malas and a gold chain sits on a gilded throne draped with a striped tiger skin, while a man in white dhoti and shirt drapes a long garland of green, red and white flowers over his shoulders. Behind them, a deity murti with a gold crown stands before a painted backdrop with pink lotus-topped pillars.
