A seated figure with long dark hair, a dark garment, and multiple beaded rudraksha-style malas sits on an ornate golden throne (peetha) framed by a large circular golden arch. He holds a trident (trishul) in one raised hand. Flanking him are two large painted statues of guardian figures with crowns, one holding a veena-like instrument and the other holding a weapon, in red and green tones. Brass oil lamps stand on the floor, and the scene is lit with pink, green and blue hues. The figure appears to be a person seated on the throne rather than a statue, but the image is heavily color-shifted and the identity is not established from appearance.
