A figure seated on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, wearing a maroon robe and a pink-and-white flower garland, has his forehead touched with an outstretched hand by a young man in white dhoti and shirt who kneels and holds joined palms. Behind the throne stands a golden trident on a pole, and an orange-robed attendant with a gold necklace holds a book nearby. A woman in a white sari with gold border stands at right; several young men in white and an attendant in orange stand in the background beneath stage lights, with a golden lion statue in the foreground. The seated figure has long hair and a beard and wears a rudraksha mala, which is a person appearance cue, but the scene is a stage with a throne and lion statue at a ceremonial event.
