A seated man in an orange saffron shawl and orange robe sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions and armrest rolls, his eyes lowered and hands folded in his lap. Behind him are a red and gold canopy, a garlanded deity figure in red robes on the left, and a carved grey stone wall with a window grille. On the right, a wooden table holds a tray of bananas and flower offerings. The man has no visible rudraksha mala or crown, and his face is only partly visible, so his identity is uncertain and he is described by role only as a seated devotee on the throne.
