A man with long dark hair and an orange cloth draped over his bare upper body sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, wearing a garland of yellow and pink flowers and holding a red fruit in his hands. A man in white kurta and black trousers bows low before him, placing offerings on a brass tray filled with small gold objects. Around them, women in saffron and red saris and a man in a white dhoti with a gold necklace watch closely, and a shaved-headed young monk in orange kneels at the front with an offering plate. Brass vessels and a silver kettle sit on the throne's base. Cameras and phones are raised in the background.

Gold lion-head ornaments sit on the throne cushions, and a large floral backdrop of marigolds and roses fills the left side.
