A woman in a white sari with red border stands to the left, while a shaved-headed attendant in saffron robes and a standing man in saffron stand at the right.

A stage ceremony with a seated figure on a red-and-gold throne beneath a multicoloured fringed canopy, the figure wearing gold and yellow ornate dress and a headwear piece, flanked by golden lion-form armrests. To the right, a gilded shrine-like structure holds a deity murti decorated with garlands and a kalasha-style arrangement. Two priests in white dhoti and orange-red shawls sit on a patterned mat performing puja, with brass vessels, fruit, and flower offerings in front of them. Several seated devotees in the foreground, including a woman in a red sari and a child, watch the rite. Red theatre seating and a white-draped table occupy the background. The page suggests a padapuja-style event, though the figure's appearance is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm identity.
