A seated figure in a red dhoti and a golden face covering sits on an ornate silver throne decorated with garlands in red, white, purple and yellow, under a silver umbrella canopy. Flanked by lion-shaped armrests, the figure holds a green cloth and a flower garland. Around the throne, several sannyasis in saffron and orange robes, with rudraksha malas and bare chests, stand and kneel in worship; one holds a silver staff and another offers flowers. On the backdrop, a painted temple gopuram glows under a night sky, beside a golden standing deity statue. This appears to be a puja during the Meenakshi Pattabhishekam ceremony.
