A seated figure in a saffron-orange shawl and matching dhoti sits on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions and armrests, hands folded in the lap and eyes lowered. Behind the throne is an arch of marigolds and garlands in yellow, white, green, red and purple. Draped garlands line the stage edges, and a bald man in white with an orange cloth over his shoulder is seen from behind in the lower left. The figure has long swept-back hair and wears a saffron shawl, a person cue, but identity is uncertain. A brass or gilded ritual object stands at the lower right edge of the stage.
