A seated man in a white turban with a silver brooch and white ceremonial sherwani and dhoti sits barefoot on an ornate gold throne with a canopy, palms pressed together near his face, smiling with eyes closed. Scattered flower petals lie on the white cloth in front. Behind him a standing man in dark clothing with a pendant claps and raises an arm. The backdrop is a painted panel of deities including Ganesha and multi-armed goddess figures against a blue Himalayan landscape. A throne, being honoured, and white ritual clothes are insufficient to establish a person's identity from appearance, so the seated figure is described by role only.
