A stage set for an event, with a life-sized figure seated on an ornate golden throne with a red cushion and a curved golden back. The seated figure has dark hair, wears a rudraksha-style garland of white flowers and a red-orange garment, and holds a staff. In front stand a green-and-gold wooden stool with elephant figures and a dark draped table. Two tall brass trident-topped stands flank the throne, and the green carpeted floor is set against white draped backdrops with strings of red and orange flowers and lit lamps along the walls. A cluster of white flowers rests beside the throne. The figure appears to be a statue or murti rather than a living person.
