A ceremonial scene at a tented event with red carpet and gold-and-red ornate seating. In the foreground, a figure seen from behind wears a red-orange robe, a red-orange turban and a long jasmine-and-marigold garland down the back; their bare arm bears gold bangles. To the left, several men in red-orange turbans, sashes and beaded necklaces stand attentively. Seated on a silver-framed bench in the lower right, an elderly bearded man in saffron-orange robes and matching turban sits with hands together, while another seated attendant in orange sits beside him. Behind them, a gilded throne and colourful flower garlands are visible, with other saffron-clad figures in the background.

A shaved-headed attendant in orange robes with gold borders and rudraksha beads stands beside them with palms joined, and a trident hangs on the tent wall. A gold kalasha-style ornament stands in the foreground and green matting covers the floor.
