A seated man on an ornate gilded throne with a golden arched back and lion-head armrests, draped in leopard and tiger-striped cloth. He wears a brown-maroon robe, a pink and white flower garland, a gold pendant and beaded necklaces, and holds his right hand raised in blessing while his eyes are closed. Behind him, bells hang from the throne canopy. At left, a person in orange robes holds a brass ceremonial vessel and a staff. At right, a painted colourful deity figure with a trident-like staff stands beside the throne. Offerings and small oil lamps rest on a tray at the base. This appears to be a padapuja-style ceremony.
