A seated man in an ornate golden throne with leopard-print cushions is being honoured with a woven basket of flower garlands. He wears a saffron-orange robe, a white forehead band and has long dark hair, and his eyes are closed. Two men in white dhotis and shirts attend him: one at left reaches toward him with an outstretched arm, and one at right kneels and offers the basket of garlands. A small side table holds a glass and a cup. Behind the throne is a large stylised backdrop with a purple-blue cosmic design and a trident motif. The scene suggests an honouring or puja-style offering on a stage.
