A standing man in maroon draped robes faces an ornately carved silver throne with a red velvet seat and cushion, pressing his palms together in anjali namaskar. He wears a tall dark turban-style headwear with a crescent ornament and green beaded band, a long layered garland of pink lotus and white flowers with red blossoms, gold armlets and bangles, and bare feet. A matching silver footstool with a red cushion sits on a patterned rug scattered with rose petals. Carved wooden screens and a stone wall stand behind, with faint incense smoke in the air. The setting suggests a reverential greeting before a throne, with the figure in a respectful pose and no one else present.
