A man in orange robes with long swept-back dark hair, wearing a rudraksha mala and a ceremonial beaded necklace, sits smiling on an ornate gold throne with a carved lion armrest and red striped cushions, decorated with yellow and purple flower garlands. A man in a white shirt bows with his head touching the feet of the seated figure on a red cushion. Behind them, two attendants in saffron robes stand near a white-and-red floral arrangement and a standing fan, with a banner of an elephant motif on the left. The seated man's identity is uncertain from appearance alone, so he is described by his role as the seated figure on the throne.
