A seated figure in orange robes and a white garland sits on an ornate gilded throne with a red cushion and a white floral garland draped across its base, on a stage with a red and patterned backdrop. A large gilded Nandi bull with a floral garland stands to the left beside a decorated deity murti or peetha seat. Brass lamps with lit oil flames stand along the stage, and a decorated canopy hangs above the throne. The highly polished floor reflects the gold and lamps. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the a person candidate, with orange robes, a rudraksha-style garland and a long head of hair, but the identification is uncertain given the distance and the lack of clear facial and adornment detail.
