A seated man on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-armed arms, wearing a deep maroon turban with a fan-shaped pleated crown ornament and a small jewel, a multicoloured embroidered sherwani-style robe in purple, pink and gold, a long gold necklace, and maroon silk trousers with gold border embroidery. He holds a silver ceremonial staff topped with a bird finial in his right hand, smiling, with a maroon sash draped over his shoulder. Behind him are garlands of marigolds and roses in yellow, white, pink and purple, and a green draped cloth. The image is a photograph of a single seated figure at a ceremonial event.
