Outdoor ceremonial scene under an overcast sky, with a tall lattice-and-concrete tower and multi-storey hotel-style buildings behind. In the foreground a large gold-leaf lion-shaped seat or vahana with ornate carving sits beside a golden kalasha-topped canopy draped in green-and-gold brocade and white and yellow flower garlands. A person seated on the throne wears a rust-red wrap, a red-and-blue beaded garland, a gold armlet and a small red tilak; a gold trident-topped staff rises beside them. Below, seated devotees in white clothes and red-orange shawls face the platform, including a woman in a white top and a red shawl, and a camera operator stands at right near a brass lamp stand. The seated figure is not confidently identifiable from appearance, so no probable identification is made.
