A seated man in a beige turban with a red tilak on his forehead sits on an ornate gold throne framed by garlands of yellow, red, pink and purple flowers. He wears white dhoti and an upper cloth draped over one shoulder, a thick gold multi-strand necklace with a large gold pendant, and a gold armlet shaped like a serpent on his upper arm. His hands rest clasped in his lap. Red cushions with orange edges fill the sides of the throne. Behavior and role are shown by the throne and garlands; the image is a photograph taken in a ceremonial setting.
