A seated man in white ceremonial clothing with a cream-coloured turban and a red bindi holds a wooden stringed instrument resembling a veena, its neck carved with a serpent-head finial. He sits on an ornate gilded throne backed by a semicircular arch of yellow, pink, purple and red flower garlands with green leaves. He wears layered gold necklaces and a gold bangle, and smiles toward the camera. Behind him a red backdrop shows Kannada script and partial English lettering, with an orange kalasha-like pot at his side and a red cushion below.
