A smiling man in a tan turban with a red bindi and a maroon robe with gold-embroidered border sits on an ornate gold throne (peetha) decorated with garlands of yellow marigolds, purple and red flowers, and green leaves. He wears a long chain of large gold beads around his neck and has bare feet resting on a red cushioned footstool. Behind him a red-orange backdrop shows Kannada script and a painted figure. The setting suggests a formal ceremonial seat.
