A seated figure in the centre of an elaborate golden throne (peetha) decorated with red, pink, green and white flower garlands in rainbow arcs, with a gold crown and peacock feather ornament, palms joined in namaskar, wearing a white dhoti with gold waist ornament and long red and white flower garlands draped over the shoulders. Before him, a brass lamp (aarti/oil lamp) burns on a red-cushioned platform above fruit, marigold garlands and brass vessels. Foreground devotees in saffron-orange robes sit in prayer, one with hands extended in offering and another with palms joined, while a woman in orange at right folds her hands. The scene reads as a ceremonial puja or celebration at a golden throne.
