A central man sits on an ornate gilded throne with red cushions and a red-orange robe, wearing a flower garland and smiling while raising a hand in greeting; a second person in red-orange sits on the orange cloth at the base of the throne. Below, a dense crowd stands waist-deep in water, many wearing white garments, some holding brass plates. Several people in white stand on a platform at the left edge. Floral decorations surround the throne and the lingam base.
