A seated man on an ornate gilded throne with a tall, intricately carved golden backrest topped by a crown-like finial and a circular halo motif. He wears a rust-red saffron-toned garment draped over one shoulder, a gold bead necklace, and a red-orange tilak on his forehead. His arms rest on yellow cushions, and his lap is covered by a white cloth with black stripes. Golden lion-footed armrest supports flank the throne. Hanging brass oil lamps and strings of small lights surround the throne against a dark backdrop, with lit oil lamps visible at the lower corners. Three side-facing pillars are painted with red and yellow patterns. The man has a shaved or very short head, appears to smile, and is seated as if receiving honour, so identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
