On a raised white-draped platform sits a figure in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair and a bare upper body, holding a long golden staff and a small silver plate. Beside them, a second figure in orange robes with short hair sits on the platform. Several people in white clothing stand in front of the platform, including a man with white hair, a woman in a pink top, and a girl in a yellow top in the foreground. A man in white on the right holds a small object. Strings of cloth and a plate of offerings sit on the platform edge. A purple and white logo appears at the upper left.
