A figure seated on an ornate gilded throne with a red cushioned seat and carved gold panels, arms crossed, wearing an orange-saffron shawl draped over the body and dark trousers. The throne is backed by a garland of multicoloured marigold and flower strands and topped by a canopy with a fringed red, yellow and green valance. The stage is decorated with matching flower garlands in white, yellow and green along its edges, with a silver kalasha-style vessel, a small brass lamp and bell at the front, and a folded white cloth on the dais. Dark wood-panelled wall behind. The figure has long dark hair swept back, distinctive of a candidate shown with saffron clothing and a throne setting, though the face is not clearly discernible.
