A seated man with closed eyes wears a bright orange turban with a gold-edged band and a small red tilak on his forehead. He is bare-shouldered, draped in orange cloth, and wears a dense necklace of red roses over a garland of green leaves and small green fruits. A lit oil lamp flame glows in the lower right, held near a hand. Blurred gold and yellow floral decorations and a gilded ceremonial structure fill the background. A small gold cobra armlet is visible on his upper arm. The turban, garland and orange cloth suggest a presentation with saffron clothing and ornate adornments.
