A seated figure in saffron robes sits on an ornate gold throne decorated with carved floral motifs, smiling broadly and with palms pressed together in greeting. Long dark hair falls past the shoulders and a red bindi marks the forehead, and a red and white flower garland drapes over the shoulders with loose petals heaped at the base of the throne. Two devotees in white stand before him: an older man in white trousers and shirt leans forward to offer a garland, and a woman in a white sari bows with hands raised. Behind them a third person in orange kneels at the edge of the frame. The backdrop is covered in white and blue patterned fabric, marigold and rose garlands, and yellow flower arrangements.
