A seated man with folded hands sits on an ornate gold throne beneath a gold canopy, draped in flower garlands of white, yellow and red and wearing a gold crown with a red mark on his forehead. He wears white and gold ceremonial cloth. Two people in orange robes attend him: a shaved-headed man at left and a woman at right holding a lamp, with a brass plate of offerings and a banana before the dais. The throne is framed by marigold and rose decorations and a red and gold fringed platform. The seated man has distinctive crown and garland cues but his features and identity cannot be confirmed from the image, so the a person field is unsure.
