A smiling man sits on an ornate gold-framed throne with plush burgundy velvet upholstery studded with silver crystals, against a purple draped backdrop. He wears a yellow-gold turban with a jewelled brooch, a red bindi, a green and yellow striped silk garment draped over the shoulder, a long golden shawl trailing down the side, beaded rudraksha bracelets on the upper arms, and a long rudraksha mala with gold-toned beads around the neck. The appearance and distinctive ceremonial cues are consistent with a person, seated in a position of honour.
