A seated man in an orange-saffron embroidered kurta with a matching orange shawl sits on an ornate gold lion-armed throne, a peetha draped with yellow, white and purple flower garlands. A gold umbrella canopy with yellow and white flower strands stands above him, and a gold deity murti is set into the throne back. Brass oil lamps (diyas) flank the stage, and white and red flower arrangements sit beside him. Behind is a brown backdrop with a white trident and a white bird painted on dark shapes. The man is seated on the throne as a presented guest, and the scene reads as a festival stage in the style of a celebration event. The man may be a person based on appearance cues: long swept-back hair and saffron ceremonial dress, presented on a throne.
