A bearded man in a rust-brown dhoti and shawl sits on an ornate gold throne with leopard-print cushions and gilded lion-head armrests, smiling and raising one hand in greeting while holding a silver trident. He wears layered rudraksha and beaded malas and a white tilak on his forehead. Behind him a large floral backdrop of white, orange and green garlands frames the seat. Below and beside the throne, a crowd of men in white dhotis and women in saris sits on tiered steps. Two people in the foreground are partly cropped. The appearance and attire of the seated figure resemble the a person cues: beaded malas, rudraksha and a trident, on a throne at a festival, so the identification is uncertain.
