A seated man with long dark hair piled into a high turban-like crown, a red tilak on his forehead, and a rust-orange robe, wearing a gold pendant and a thick garland of yellow and red flowers over white beads. He sits on a carved silver throne with leopard-print cushions, backed by a wall of yellow and red marigold garlands and a navy embroidered canopy. A man in khaki uniform bends low and touches the seated man's feet, while another uniformed man stands at left. The seated figure is smiling and holds an orange fruit. The pose and throne suggest a ceremonial honouring, but the appearance cues are only partly distinctive, so identity is uncertain.
