A smiling man sits on an ornate gilded throne decorated with garlands of marigolds and roses in red, yellow, purple and white. He wears a tall gold crown set with red stones, a red tilak on his forehead, and a thick gold collar with pearls over a dense rudraksha-style bead necklace. His saffron-orange garments include a wrap across the torso with a maroon and gold border, and his arms are banded with gold armlets with yellow tassels. He holds a silver trident in his left hand and raises his right hand in blessing. A sign-like emblem is visible at the top left corner of the image. The throne has gold filigree carvings on its base, and the scene appears to be a ceremonial public appearance.
