A smiling man in a rust-orange turban with a red tilak mark on his forehead waves his right hand while seated in front of an ornate gold-leaf structure carved with swan or peacock-like birds. He wears an orange-brown saffron-style robe, a rudraksha mala with a gold-toned ceremonial necklace featuring a crown-shaped pendant, a beaded wristband and a gold armlet. Behind him is a gilded procession vehicle, consistent with a ratha or palanquin in a festival procession, and a leopard-print cloth is visible at the lower left.
