A seated man on an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushion is being crowned or adorned with a maroon turban by a standing figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban. The seated man wears a maroon-red dhoti-style wrap, a gold necklace, a red bracelet and a gold-trimmed shawl draped over the chest. The standing figure, wearing a long orange kurta and holding the turban with both hands, appears to be a priest or attendant. A pink and red fringed umbrella with crystal embellishments stands at the right edge, and a seated person in orange is partly visible in the lower right corner. The stage backdrop is dark red and blurred. Only the two main figures and a partially visible third person are present. The seated figure has a distinctive long swept-back hairstyle, a gold necklace and a red wrap, which are consistent with a person at the seat of honour, though the exact identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.
