A seated man with long, swept-back dark hair sits on a red velvet throne decorated with garlands of yellow marigolds, red roses and white flowers, a golden trishul standing beside him. He wears a maroon-brown dhoti, gold necklaces, bangles and a rudraksha mala, and smiles while holding a small object. Another man in a white shirt, holding a white item, stands at left beside a dark vessel and a wicker basket. A silver plate of yellow sweets sits in front. Behind is a golden wall with carved relief.
