A seated man in a multicoloured pink, orange and green turban, with a red bindi on his forehead, sits cross-legged on a red cushioned seat within an ornate gold throne. He wears a saffron-orange silk garment with gold border and a long gold bead necklace, with his hands resting in a mudra on his lap. Yellow and red flower garlands and gold lion-head armrests frame the throne, and bare feet are visible.
