A seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne in a red garment with a long garland of white flowers and a bangle on the arm, while a standing attendant in white dhoti holds a brass pot near a bouquet and a gold pot. Two saffron-robed priests sit on the floor before a gold-trimmed low table, one performing a ritual with brass vessels and offerings. A large backdrop behind shows a smiling man in orange robes, and gold ceremonial fans flank the scene. The setting suggests a pattabhishekam or padapuja ceremony.
