A man with long dark dreadlocks, a full black beard, white vertical tilak and a red dot on his forehead sits smiling on an ornate gilded throne backed by repousse golden peacock and floral carvings. He wears a rust-red unstitched robe draped over one shoulder and a red-and-gold bordered dhoti, a red thread on his wrist, and green leaves across his lap. Leopard-print cushions and a tiger-skin cloth cover the seat. A tall golden trident stands at left, and a pile of papers and red-and-white flower garlands rests at the bottom. He gestures with one open hand while speaking, in a throne-room setting.
