A smiling man in profile stands in front of a dark navy drape beside an ornate gilded throne-like chair with carved floral motifs. He wears a pale silver-white crinkled turban with the long end falling over his shoulder, a multicoloured embroidered blue, pink and lilac kurta with a high collar, and a red tilak on his forehead. Layered garlands of white jasmine with green, red and purple flower accents hang across his chest, interspersed with heavy gold beaded ornaments. A gilded canopy edge is visible at the top left. a person is described by the turban, long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold beads and festive garlands, appearing as the honoured figure seated or standing before the throne.
