A seated man in a rust-brown robe sits on an ornate white-and-red throne before a gilded shrine. He wears a rudraksha mala, a ceremonial gold necklace, bangles and a pink-and-white flower garland, with a bindi on his forehead, and raises one hand in blessing. Behind him a golden deity murti with a red turban and multiple arms stands in a gilded arch, flanked by a trident, brass lamps, potted green plants, a yellow drape and red curtains. Bowls of limes sit at the foot of the stage. a person is seated in blessing on the throne, appearance-based cues being the rudraksha mala, gold necklace and saffron-toned robe.
