A seated figure in white ceremonial dress sits on a gilded throne at the centre of a richly decorated stage, hands pressed together in namaste with eyes closed. A large garland of white jasmine and yellow and red flowers hangs over his shoulders and around the seat, and a golden crown sits on his head, with a golden necklace visible at his chest. In the foreground, a shaven-headed man in saffron robes bends forward to tend items on a golden tray, while a woman in an orange sari and another person in saffron attend nearby. Gold lion-shaped armrests, floral panels and a flower-covered backdrop frame the scene.
