Outdoor ceremonial stage decorated with marigold and white flower garlands and a large gold-framed arch with a golden umbrella. A red-cushioned throne sits empty at centre. Around the platform, several people in saffron-orange robes sit or kneel: a bald man in orange at left, a young man in orange with a rudraksha mala at centre, and two women in orange saris to the right. A man in orange sits at the lower left holding a tall golden staff, and brass lamps, fruit and offerings are arranged on the white-draped platform in front. The empty throne suggests a seat of honour, but no one on it is visible, so no a person candidate is identified.
