A seated man in a maroon turban and maroon robe sits on an ornate white-and-red painted chair with a carved wooden frame, holding a tall silver staff topped with a finial. He wears layered garlands of beads and gold-coloured flower strands, a pendant, bangles and a leopard-print lower garment. Behind him a red backdrop hangs, a blue-and-white striped umbrella shelters the seat, and small colourful beaded hangings dangle from the umbrella pole. On the right, an attendant in white dhoti and saffron-edged shawl with a rudraksha mala holds the umbrella, and a person in white sits at the lower left edge. The setting is an outdoor area with palm and tropical foliage. The chair and staff suggest a throne-like seat and a ceremonial appearance.
