A seated figure on a gold-and-yellow throne is almost buried under heaps of red, pink and white flower petals and garlands. The throne is draped with a multicoloured garland of yellow, red, purple and white flowers, and the yellow wall behind is decorated with red and green ornamental panels. In the foreground a man in white ritual clothing with a rudraksha mala and gold chain lifts a large woven basket of flowers on his head while another man in an orange robe stands at right. A person in orange robes with long dark hair is seen from behind near the right edge. Petals scatter through the air. The seated figure wears a flower garland and smiles; the figure is too obscured for a confident appearance-based identification.
