A figure in orange saffron robes sits on an ornate silver-and-gold ceremonial chair, waving his right hand and smiling broadly. He wears an orange-and-white turban, a gold necklace, and a long garland of red, white and yellow flowers. He holds a tall gold trident staff. A fringed multicolored canopy shades the chair, and colourful heart-shaped and round balloons float around it. Behind and beside him, a crowd of devotees in white and orange clothing watches from a dusty, unpaved open ground with mounds of earth in the background.

Many colourful balloons in red, pink, blue, yellow and green float around the seat. Several people in white and orange clothing, including women, crowd the lower right and left edges, smiling and looking up at him.
