A smiling man sits with eyes lowered in front of an ornate gold backdrop, wearing a dark vermilion-coloured bindi on his forehead and a saffron-orange shawl over his bare shoulders. He is adorned with long garlands of yellow lemon-like fruits, red and orange flower strands, white jasmine and pink blossoms, plus a heavy gold ceremonial necklace with bells. Another person is partly visible at the left edge, and ornate golden metalwork and a brass lamp stand are behind them. The man has short dark hair, so the a person candidate cues are weak; the appearance is uncertain and the role is a seated devotee-style guest.
