A smiling man wearing a pink and gold turban with a red bindi sits beneath a golden throne-like backdrop, almost completely buried in heaps of flower petals. White jasmine petals cover his chest and lap, pink rose petals spill across the middle, and bright yellow marigold petals fill the foreground. Red and orange flower garlands hang along the top left and right. A small silver necklace or pendant is visible at the turban. The scene suggests a floral welcome or abhishekam-style offering of flowers. The flat pink-gold palette dominates the frame.
