A seated figure in orange robes with a gold crown and peacock feather sits on an ornate gold throne draped in white jasmine garlands and yellow marigolds, hands pressed together in namaskar with eyes closed. A gold umbrella canopy with hanging leaf ornaments sits above the throne, and gold lion figures flank its base. Behind him a large red painted banner shows a smiling face and a field of white daisies. On the left, seated devotees in white and orange clothing watch, and on the right a woman in orange with glasses sits beside the throne. A red-and-white garland hangs from the seated figure's neck. Whether the seated figure is a person cannot be determined from appearance alone.
