A smiling man sits centred under a canopy of flower garlands woven in pink, white, yellow, purple and red blooms, suspended from a golden crown-shaped frame. He wears a golden crown-like headpiece with a red tilak, a deep rust-brown saffron-toned robe, multiple gold necklaces, a gold ornamental pendant, bangles on both wrists, and a pink-and-white flower garland. Behind him stand colourful tassel decorations in red, green, yellow and purple, a golden lion-faced figure at lower left, a painted deity murti with raised hands at upper left, and a yellow-and-red cloth pillar at right. The setting suggests a temple-style stage for a tulabharam ceremony.
