A seated figure in a golden ornate throne is covered almost entirely by pink rose petals and white jasmine garlands. He wears a rust-orange wrap, a heavy gold necklace, gold bangles and a red kumkum mark on the forehead, with petals scattered in his hair. Another person's hand holds a woven fan or basket at the left edge, and a golden carved backdrop with deity iconography fills the upper background. The setting suggests a pushpabhishekam flower-anointing.
