A seated figure sits cross-legged with eyes closed on a gilded, tiered throne with red cushioned tops, against a painted backdrop of a golden-brown rocky mountain under a blue sky. He wears a leopard-print garment, layered rudraksha malas and a gold necklace, with white arm bands, a white forehead marking and a red bindi. A brass trident stands at right and a black kalasha sits on the throne. A small white fan is visible at left. The scene suggests a staged mountain setting for a darshan. Appearance-based label: a person, with long hair, rudraksha malas, ornate gold necklace and leopard-print clothing as cues.
