A bearded man with long dark hair and a white tilak on his forehead sits smiling on an ornate golden throne with lion-headed armrests and velvet cushions in deep maroon. He wears an orange-brown robe, a bare-shouldered wrap, a pink and white flower garland, and a long rudraksha-style mala with gold beads. Behind him a tall gilded backrest is studded with jewels and pearls, and maroon curtains hang at the back. A person in gold silk clothing stands at the right edge, and a blue shopping bag sits on the floor beside the throne. Cues consistent with a person seated in a place of honour, though identity is uncertain.
