A seated man in a rust-red saffron-toned robe wears a leopard-print headband, a rudraksha-style gold ceremonial necklace with a large gold pendant, and a sacred ash mark on his forehead, raising one hand in blessing. He sits in front of an ornate gold arched backdrop with cross-shaped cutouts and red drapes, beside a white-and-silver throne decorated with white flower garlands, a silver ritual stand, a brass lamp, a blue pot and small offering trays on a colourful cloth.
