A smiling man sits on an ornate gold throne-like seat during a festival procession, holding a silver trident (trishula) upright in his right hand. He wears an elaborate gold crown with red and green stones and a crescent ornament, an orange-red robe, a leopard-print shawl over one shoulder, a broad gold collar set with red and white beads, long red and orange bead malas, and bangles. A red bindi is on his forehead. Behind him are gold-embroidered red and blue hangings, a garland of flowers and a blue draped figure at left.
