A smiling man sits on a zebra-striped cushion on a raised platform outdoors under a clear blue sky. He wears a red garment draped over his body, a heavy gold multi-bead necklace, and a red tilak on his forehead; his bare arm is wrapped with a yellow-and-black cloth band and a rope runs across his hand. Behind him stands a large gold sun-disc finial on a tall pole, with a floral arrangement in a vase and a digital clock on a patterned table cloth. A child in an orange shirt holds a wooden pole at left, and seated spectators, including a man in sunglasses, watch at right.
