A standing man in an orange-red saffron dhoti and shawl stands barefoot on a patterned carpet with both arms raised in greeting, palms open. He wears a long orange-gold beaded mala and a red bindi, and smiles toward the camera. Behind him is a gold throne with lion heads and a tiger-skin cover, framed by a large arch of red, white, green, yellow and orange flower garlands against a maroon velvet backdrop.
