A seated man with closed eyes and hands folded in front of his chest sits on an ornate golden throne (peetha) framed by a large arch of garlands in yellow marigolds, red roses, white jasmine and green leaves. He wears a golden crown, a saffron/orange robe over bare shoulders, a red bindi on his forehead and a heavy ceremonial gold necklace with multiple beads. Two heads of unseen onlookers are visible at the bottom edge, and a brass lamp hangs at the top. Appearance-based candidate for a person, seated in meditative posture as the central figure of a celebration.
