He is smiling and has a red tilak on his forehead. Around him, several men in white kurtas with orange shawls stand and hold tall golden staffs topped with black peacock-feather fans, and one man in white reaches toward him. A red cushion is visible behind him, and an older woman in white with a beaded necklace sits at the lower right edge. a person is identified by the long, swept-back hair and the central seated position, with a garland and ornate ceremonial setting as the distinguishing cues; the figure is seated and smiling in a ceremonial procession.
