A smiling man seated on an orange-upholstered seat at night wears a rust-red turban with a red bindi, an orange-red robe and heavy gold ceremonial jewellery including a gold multi-strand necklace and large pendants. A red and pink flower garland drapes his shoulders and a gold bangle is on his upper arm. Behind him a large gold-embroidered red umbrella or shield bears a sun-like face with a vertical tilak. A silver ceremonial bowl with a bas-relief design sits in the lower right foreground. The man's appearance is consistent with a person, showing a turban, saffron-orange clothing and ornate gold adornments, though identity is uncertain.
