A seated figure on a golden throne is almost completely buried under a mound of marigolds, roses and other flowers in red, yellow, orange and purple. Above hangs an ornate golden canopy with white and yellow flower garlands and a sheer pink tent backdrop. To the left, four women stand in white and gold-bordered saris with hands folded in greeting; the woman second from the right wears an orange-and-blue sari with gold bangles and a black beaded necklace. A man in a white dhoti and shirt also stands with palms pressed together. On the right, a figure in an orange robe with a mala stands beside a tall silver lamp, and a carved golden table sits in front of the throne. Only the seated person's face and hand are visible above the flowers, and no one on the throne can be confirmed from appearance, so the a person field is unsure.
