A seated man in an ochre-orange robe sits on an ornate gilded golden throne with tiger-stripe cushions and red velvet armrests. He is heavily garlanded with long garlands of white jasmine, red roses, yellow marigolds and green leaves, with red apples and lemons strung along the garland; he smiles and holds a garland with one hand. A red tilak mark is on his forehead and a red-thread wrist band on his wrist. Behind him is a large ornate golden canopy or structure with carved scrollwork. The robe and garland suggest a ceremonial honouring.
