Two men in white dhotis stand at left and centre, one bare-chested with a sacred thread, touching the seated figure's feet or the throne base. Behind the throne is a painted jungle backdrop with waterfall and deity figures. Two women in rust and white saris stand at right, and a white-clad attendant is at far right. Gold oil lamps stand on either side of the throne. The scene resembles a padapuja or honouring ritual.
