The seated figure wears a colourful beaded crown and a garland of flowers, and a tall trident with bells stands beside the throne. In front, a red and silver plaque with Tamil lettering is set on a gold base decorated with green leaves. A man in the foreground sits smiling with hands clasped, and others on both sides press palms together in greeting. Red drapes hang behind the group.
