A man in saffron-orange robes sits in an orange upholstered armchair with one hand raised to his cheek and a slight smile, one bare foot resting on an orange footstool with a brown mat. A gilded golden staff with a finial rests across his lap. Behind him is an ornate gold-framed shrine niche holding two large painted deity murti: a figure in a red-orange turban with blue and yellow dhoti holding a trident, beside a female figure in orange and gold sari with a tall crown. Between them stands a golden kalasha-like vessel draped in white and pink garlands, flanked by tall brass oil lamps. A small gilded peetha with a garlanded figure is visible at right. The man is the only physical person in the scene.
