Seated on the throne is a figure in a bright orange robe with a red-orange shawl, with a smiling face and a sandalwood-marked forehead, and their feet rest on a red cushioned footstool. A man in a beige checked shirt and white dhoti leans forward with one hand on the seated figure's shoulder, while a boy in a gold-yellow shirt and jeans bends toward the throne. On the left a woman in a white sari with gold border and a red bead mala stands watching, and on the right a man in white dhoti and shirt stands beside another person in orange. Behind them are pink and gold draped curtains with swan motifs, and a table holds red fruit. Visible people total about six.
