An outdoor stage event with a central seated figure on an ornate red and gold throne draped in marigold garlands, the figure wearing an orange-saffron garment and crown-like headpiece, hands raised to the head in greeting. A standing figure in orange robes with a bare upper body stands to the left of the throne beside a tall brass lamp stand. Seated before the stage are devotees in white dhotis and saris, including women with flowers in their hair, some with folded hands in devotion, with a seated musician at left. Brass oil lamps flank the throne against a dark brown backdrop with decorative motifs and red lamp ornaments. Orange and white stage railings frame the platform. Seven to nine people are visible. The throne figure's identity is not established by appearance here, so it is described by role.
