A standing man smiles and raises both open palms in greeting on a red-carpeted stage. He wears a rust-red dhoti with a gold border, a leopard-print cloth draped over his upper body, and a long garland of yellow and red flowers with green leaves. Gold bangles and a small red bindi are visible. Behind him stands an ornate gold throne with a red tiger-striped cushion, flanked by gold lion-head armrests, in front of deep red velvet drapes. A small heap of flower petals lies on the floor. The man has long, swept-back hair and a crown-like ornament is not visible.
