A person in an orange saffron garment with a long plait and a white flower garland sits on a red-cushioned throne-like seat, smiling and holding one end of a yellow ribbon.

Behind them a large floral arrangement of yellow, orange, white and purple marigolds and red elements frames the stage, with a purple curtain at right. In the lower right a seated man in white with an orange shawl is partly visible. The swami-appearance cue is an orange garment with a long plait and garland; the identity is uncertain.
