A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes sits on the floor at lower left, hands raised near his face. In the centre, a figure in maroon-brown robes with a red and gold turban and a white flower garland sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, a gold umbrella canopy above. Two shirtless young men in white dhotis sit at the throne's base, one holding a brass vessel, and a seated woman in dark clothes sits beside them. Brass bells hang from the ceiling, and a gold lion figure sits in the foreground.
