A seated figure in a red-orange turban and saffron-orange robe, wearing a long rudraksha-style garland and a gold pendant, sits on a gold throne with a tiger-skin cushion and red velvet seat, holding a green leaf up before him. Behind the throne, a gold backrest is framed by marigold, rose and white flower garlands. In front, a bare-chested man in a white dhoti with a purple shoulder cloth and gold chain kneels or sits facing the throne, holding a small brass vessel. Silver trishul staffs and a silver-fringed canopy frame the scene outdoors. This is a ritual puja or abhishekam setting with an appearance-based candidate for a person on the throne.
