A man with long dark wavy hair and a red bindi sits smiling on an ornate throne draped with garlands of white jasmine, yellow and pink marigolds, and red and green flower strands, with a brass canopy overhead. He wears a dark sequined-looking long coat over a dark shirt and a multicolored striped garland hangs over his lap. A small brass deity relief is mounted on the throne back. Behind him is a backdrop of painted cutout figures of standing devotees in red and yellow dhoti-style clothing, and a blue draped fabric and a microphone stand are visible at right. The setting appears to be a festival stage at a temple-style event.
