A seated figure in orange-saffron robes and long dark hair sits on an ornate silver throne-palanquin under a red and gold canopy with tasseled fringe. He holds a gold trident (trishul) upright in his right hand and raises his left hand in greeting, wearing red and yellow flower garlands and a gold necklace. Colourful balloons in blue, green, orange, red and yellow hang around the canopy. A man in a dark shirt sits at the lower right edge, and a silver decorated panel is visible in the foreground.
