A smiling man with eyes closed sits on an ornate gold throne carved with a lion-shaped armrest. He wears a saffron-orange turban with a red tilak mark on his forehead, a saffron-orange garment with gold border, a multi-strand beaded necklace with a large gold pendant, and beaded wrist bands. He holds a tall silver staff topped with a flame-like finial in his raised right hand. Behind him are a multicoloured fringed canopy, silver-decorated backrests and a red draped backdrop.
