Close view of an ornate gold-gilded throne or seat with a cream and gold brocade cushion, legs carved and curved at the base. Behind it, an orange-robed figure stands, with only the orange cloth and bare feet visible; the face and upper body are cropped out. Gold repoussé carvings, a yellow flower garland hangs on the left, and a red-patterned floor rug lies below. The scene suggests a seated honour ceremony at a Dasara celebration, but no face is shown.
