A man seated on an ornate silver-and-gold throne with a tall repoussé backrest, smiling and raising his right hand that holds a silver trident-staff. He wears a rust-red shawl over a leopard-print blouse, long gold-bead necklaces, gold armlets and a bindi with a tilak on his forehead. A tall silver staff stands on the right beside him, and a twisted rope or cord rests in his lap. Warm green and purple stage lighting falls on the scene. A small figure of a leg with a sandal appears at the bottom, and the throne base has ornate gold relief panels.
