A seated man with long dark hair and a red forehead mark sits on an ornate gilded throne with red velvet cushions, a gold canopy above and white and orange flower garlands draped across its base. He wears a cream embroidered kurta and white dhoti with a striped shawl over one shoulder, and his palms are pressed together in greeting. Behind the throne hang green and yellow streamers, marigold and leaf decorations, and potted flowers flank the stage. The throne and setting suggest a festival stage, though the figure's appearance is uncertain for identification purposes.

Lions flank the throne, which is decorated with yellow, red and green flower garlands and white jasmine swags, with floral arrangements at the sides of the stage.
