A standing man in saffron-orange robes and a long orange wrap stands beside an ornate gold-and-red throne (peetha) with a red velvet seat and a leopard-print cloth draped over the arm. He wears a rudraksha-style bead mala and gold bangles, and his hair is long and swept back. To his right, two golden-brown metal deity murti statues stand on a gilded pedestal, one wearing an orange crown and layered necklaces. A brass oil lamp sits near the throne against a dark backdrop with a red crescent design and green trees visible through a window. A small gold footstool sits in the foreground.

He wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a long gold-beaded necklace and a red-and-white tilak. Gold armlets sit on his upper arms, and he rests his hands on the red-cushioned armrests.
