A seated man on a silver throne with a red-and-gold turban, a pink and white flower garland and heavy gold necklaces, wearing a rust-red dhoti and shawl, smiling with hands resting on the armrests. Flanking him are two attendants in orange saffron robes and rudraksha malas, one on the left holding a silver-based ceremonial umbrella stand and one on the right with hands folded. Two more orange-robed attendants stand at the right edge. Multicoloured striped cloth covers the dais, and a large colourful rangoli with pink, white and blue patterns lies in the foreground under an open pavilion with a red-and-yellow canopy. The seated man has distinctive gold adornments and a turban; with the event context he appears to be a person, seated in a ceremonial setting at a Kalpataru Darshan gathering.
