A seated man in saffron robes sits on a gold-decorated throne-style chair in front of a backdrop of green foliage and bright flower garlands. He wears long swept-back hair, a red-and-white garland of flowers and beads, and holds paper or a document that a young man in white kurta and white shirt presents to him with both hands. Behind him stands a figure in orange robes with a gold-toned necklace. Petals are scattered on the seat and floor, and the golden backrest bears a carved deity relief.
