Close-up of a ceremonial figure seated on a golden throne-like seat, with its face covered by a red-and-gold saffron turban and a white cloth wrap edged in teal and gold. A three-tier jeweled headpiece with a red central gem sits across the forehead, and thick garlands of yellow marigolds and magenta and purple flowers hang on both sides. A pink silk drape and gold-edged cushion frame the figure. Only clothing, garlands and ornaments are visible; no face or identifying features can be seen, so no person is identified.
