A man in white ritual dress sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, palms pressed together in namaskar with eyes closed. He wears a white turban with a red tilak on the forehead, a white kurta, a white dhoti with a gold border, and garlands of orange and white flowers draped over his shoulders and across the throne. The gold throne features a carved lion-head armrest and a gilded backrest with a deity relief. Behind him stands a large flower-decorated backdrop with white jasmine, green and purple panels, and a lotus motif. A small white fan and a vase of orange flowers are visible, and bare feet rest on a red cushioned dais. The scene appears to be a formal devotional seating, with no other people visible.
