A smiling man in an orange turban with a small gold ornament and red tilak sits on a throne-like seat before a backdrop of marigolds in yellow and orange, with red, white and purple flowers. He wears an orange shawl with gold border, a long gold-beaded necklace of large beads, and beaded bangles on his arms. A woven basket of red fruit sits at the left edge. The turban, orange robes, gold beads and flower backdrop match the visible cues associated with a person seated for a festival honour, but the image shows no certain identity; the figure is one person being honoured.
