A smiling man seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, wearing a gold filigree crown with jewelled details, a red bindi, pink silk robes with green border trim, a long white and red flower garland, and a heavy gold bead necklace.

The scene appears to be an outdoor procession or celebration.
