A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a long rudraksha mala smiles while receiving honour on an ornate gold throne with a red tiger-striped cushion. A thick garland of pink lotus-like flowers hangs across his shoulders, and a yellow marigold garland rests on his lap; flower petals are scattered on the platform. On the left, a man in a grey-and-white striped polo shirt bends forward and touches his forehead to the seated man's hand. On the right, a woman in a peach sari with gold border stands beside the throne. Dark drapes with hanging white and purple flower strings form the backdrop, with a small lamp visible behind the throne. Three people are physically present.
