A man seated on a flower-decorated swing on a stage, wearing a rust-orange turban, rust-orange robe and a heavy gold necklace, with a long pink and white flower garland draped over his chest and gold bangles on his arm. Yellow marigold garlands and white jasmine wrap the swing's frame and chains. Behind him stands a tall gold-carved throne with a red cushion and a tiger-print cloth, next to a stack of orange silk cushions. The floor is covered with a colourful striped rug and a small red-cushioned silver footstool sits in front. Overhead, stage lights hang from a metal truss. The page links this scene to a Karthigai Deepam event; the swing setting is visible, but no lamps are visible.
