A seated man on an ornate gold throne with red cushions is being showered with flower petals and garlands by two standing attendants in orange-saffron robes with red borders. The seated figure wears a white turban, white kurta and white dhoti, with a large white flower garland and a multicoloured floral garland draped over the shoulders. A gold parasol with white flower garlands hangs above the throne, and the backdrop is decorated with orange, yellow and blue floral panels. The red carpet is strewn with white and yellow flowers. The scene appears to be a ceremonial honouring, with three physical people visible. The seated man's appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity, so this is not treated as a probable identification.
