A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe, wearing an ornate gold-and-white crown, gold armbands, a gold necklace and a rudraksha-style mala, extends an arm and points toward a long garland of white flowers held by a young attendant in orange robes and a beaded necklace. Behind the seated figure is a backdrop heaped with yellow, orange, red and white garlands under a purple canopy.
