A seated figure on an ornate gold-and-brown throne wears a white conical hat, a long black wig, and a heavy garland of yellow marigolds; he is bare-chested with a saffron-orange wrap at the waist.

Behind them, women in saris and an older woman in a maroon sari and orange lanyard watch, and a woman in a magenta and gold outfit sits in the lower right.
