A man with a black beard and short dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, raising his right hand in a blessing gesture. He wears a rust-orange robe, a dark brown rudraksha mala and a long multi-strand gold ceremonial necklace with a large gold pendant, plus gold bangles. A white and pink flower garland hangs over his shoulders and a red tilak marks his forehead. Behind him a large carved relief of seated deities and sages in ochre tones forms the backdrop, flanked by red drapes. A tall brass trident leans to the left, potted green plants and clay pots stand around the platform, a tray of yellow fruit sits at lower left, and a small brass animal figure is in the foreground on a striped multicoloured rug.
