A smiling man sits on an ornate silver throne with carved floral and animal motifs and leopard-print upholstery, wearing a long multicoloured garland of yellow, pink, red and white flowers over a rust-red robe. He has a vertical red-and-white forehead mark, a ring of sacred ash on the upper arm, and a bead necklace. His feet rest on a red velvet cushion trimmed with white lace, and a red cloth covers the stage floor with scattered petals. Behind him stands a silver ceremonial staff topped with a serpent-like finial and a red backdrop.
