A man seated on an ornate gold throne (peetha) raises his right hand in blessing against a backdrop of gold filigree and rows of marigold and rose garlands. He wears a golden crown with a peacock-feather ornament, a white and cream dhoti-style garment, a heavy gold necklace and a red-and-white floral garland draped across his chest. Red velvet cushions and a silver tray with offerings sit before him. Two women in saffron-orange robes sit at the left and right edges of the frame, and a bright marigold border runs along the bottom with a silver dish of fruit. Judging by the garlands, crown and throne, the figure is a person, seated as a Jayanti birthday celebration is taking place.
