A seated figure with shaved-looking head sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with lion-head armrests, hands pressed together in namaste, wearing a saffron-orange turban, rudraksha mala beads, and a brown-and-gold dhoti with a shawl. Beside him stands a golden deity murti of Murugan-style form on a peacock vehicle, a decorated ratha-like canopy and gold frame, garlanded with red-and-white flower garlands and a trident in hand. The murti sits on a red draped platform. A brass oil lamp stands on a small table, and a red-and-pink decorated pillar is in the background. The scene resembles a satsang setting with a deity murti and a guru seated on a throne.
