A smiling man with a red tilak on his forehead sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, wearing a maroon-red robe, a gold necklace and a brown-and-gold shawl. He holds a silver bowl on his lap with both hands in front of a green-draped table. Beside him stands a tall silver trident, and a silver kalasha-style vessel sits on a small wooden stand. Behind the throne are bamboo mats and red curtains. On the right, a man in a white hairnet and white dhoti with a rudraksha mala kneels near a water bottle, and a woman in a cream sari stands at the edge. The setting looks like a hall-based Maheshwara Puja event.
