The seated man wears a dark black embroidered robe and a multicoloured flower garland, with long dark hair, and holds one hand raised in blessing. Beside the throne a man in a white shirt bends forward to touch the throne's base. To the right, a woman in white robes stands with palms joined, next to a woman in a white top with a rudraksha-style necklace who also has her hands folded in greeting. A man in a beige jacket stands at the left edge. The seated figure is shown in the presentation of a visible honoured seat; identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
