Green background with a red border. A blue-skinned man sits on a gray platform with a pink cushion, wearing a large crown with a black and yellow headdress, earrings, a gold necklace, a black dhoti with gold circles, and a red garment around his lower body. He holds a gold object in his right hand. A man in a striped shirt, orange shoes, a black and red headdress, and yellow and black striped shorts stands to the left of the platform, leaning on a white horse with a yellow and orange saddle blanket and gold bridle. The horse's head is turned to the right. A blue and white strip runs across the top of the image.
