Behind him hangs a deep red velvet curtain. To the left a man in an orange shawl stands partly visible, and at the lower right a woman in a red and gold sari is seen from behind. A gold ceremonial staff rests across the seated man's lap, and a white cushioned seat with an orange cloth sits behind the scene. A purple-and-gold emblem appears in the upper right corner.
