A seated man in an orange-red dhoti and shawl sits barefoot on an ornate gold throne heavily decorated with red, green and yellow flower garlands. He wears a gold crown with a red bow, white jasmine garlands across his chest and shoulders, and a gold bangle on his wrist. He raises his right hand in blessing and holds a tall gold staff wrapped in white flowers. A hand from the left, at the edge of the frame, offers a silver oil lamp with a flame. Gold carved panels and a red cloth are visible at the base. The scene resembles a ceremonial enthronement; the seated figure matches the page's a person reference only by role and setting, so the appearance-based label is probable in the description.
