A seated figure in a cream and gold silk outfit and a gold-and-brown turban sits in a flower-decorated throne canopy with hands joined at the chest, garlanded with white and orange flower necklaces. Behind him a large silver-and-red dotted shrine motif and a dark sacred backdrop frame the scene, with the stage edged by white floral draping and a red carpet below. Smoky haze fills the stage. The figure is on a raised dais; the scene appears to be a stage presentation with a central seated figure and ceremonial floral decoration.
