A bearded man in rust-coloured robes sits smiling on an ornate gilded throne with red cushioned armrests, draped in pink and magenta flower garlands. He wears layered rudraksha and bead malas, a large ceremonial pendant, and a red tilak on his forehead. Golden trident-topped finials flank the throne, and yellow and purple flower strings hang in the background. Seated audience members in red, orange and pink clothing face him from the foreground, with a bare-chested attendant in the right background. Mention of the throne and garlands fits a festival procession setting.
