A seated man sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved crown-like top, framed by arched bands of red, yellow, green, purple and white flower garlands. He wears a white dhoti-style garment with gold borders, a gold necklace and a long red-and-white flower garland, and has his hands clasped in his lap. Orange-robed attendants in saffron cloth stand and bend at either side, one in the foreground left and one at right, with a silver dish of offerings and marigold and jasmine decorations on a white-draped table in front. The scene suggests a birthday celebration with a flower-decorated throne, consistent with a Jayanti ceremony.
