A person in a flowing saffron-orange robe sits on an ornate gilded throne with carved lion-like armrests and a red cushion, raising one hand in a gesture while the other rests on the arm of the chair. Bare feet rest on a red-cushioned footstool. Golden ceremonial objects surround the stage, including a gilded deity figure on the left, a tiered gold kalasha-like object in the foreground, and a large ornate gold arch at right. Purple drapes hang behind, with a saffron cloth bundle and a white-tiled wall on the right and scattered petals on the floor. The stage appears to be an event setting.
