A smiling man sits on an ornate gilded throne with carved floral scrollwork, raising one hand in a mudra. He wears a rust-brown turban adorned with rudraksha beads and a metallic brooch, a white vertical mark on the forehead, and hoop earrings. Multiple layered rudraksha malas cover his bare chest and shoulders, with a wrist mala on his raised arm. The gold background drapes behind the throne.
