A smiling man in a gold-yellow turban and a red striped silk dhoti-style garment with a gold-and-red border stands center stage before a large ornate golden arch decorated with yellow, red, pink and green flower garlands. A golden cow-shaped figure and pink draped cloth sit behind him. Long beaded gold necklaces hang on his chest and he wears bangles. A brass oil lamp stands at the left edge, and fruit, sweets and bananas are arranged on a tray at the bottom right. A colourful tasselled canopy hangs above. The setting is a stage or hall with a microphone visible at right. The arch and garland display recalls a decorated puja platform with offerings.
