A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a white flower garland sits on an ornate gold throne with carved gold lion-like armrests and a gold framed backrest with a small deity relief at top. The seated figure has long dark hair and places both hands on the forehead of a young boy in white shirt and dark shorts who stands before him. To the left, two devotees in orange and red-patterned saris and a man in white kurta stand watching with arms folded, and a woman in orange sari stands at the far left edge. A thatched hut and palm trees show through the open side.
