A smiling man with long dark hair piled high in a topknot wearing a rudraksha mala on his head sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned seat, draped in a saffron-red robe over a bare chest. He wears a long white and pink flower garland and a bindi on his forehead, resting his hands on his knees. Gilded carved figures of attendants holding trays flank the throne, and a tiger-striped cloth covers the seat. Behind him are elaborate gold carvings of deities. A small framed portrait sits near the throne's side. a person is seated in the center; the throne and ceremonial garlands mark him as the honoured guest, with no other people visible.
