A smiling man sits on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions and a tiger-striped cloth draped over the seat. He wears a rust-brown kurta and dhoti with a gold-bordered edge, a gold pendant necklace, and a long garland of pink and white flowers hanging to his knees. A red tilak marks his forehead, and he has a gold earring. His bare feet rest on a tiger skin. Behind him, gilded carved panels and a brass figure of a deity form decorate the stage. The scene reads as a ceremonial seating in a temple-like hall.
