A stage at a large tented event decorated with red and white draped fabric and yellow marigold garlands. Centre stage is an empty ornate golden throne with a circular fan-shaped backrest of white and gold scallops and a red cushion, draped with flower garlands. Flanking the throne are two large oval-framed portraits: on the left a smiling man in a white turban, on the right a smiling man in an orange turban; both are printed portraits, not physical people. Seated in front on a flower-decorated stage edge are several people wearing white clothes and yellow or white garlands, including a woman in white at left, a man in white with a garland, and a woman in white at centre; a person in an orange and maroon wrap sits to the right. An orange turban rests on the throne cushion. A sign at lower right carries a copyright line. The scene reads as a formal seated gathering on a stage.
