A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests and red cushions is being honoured during a ritual. The seated figure wears a red-orange turban, a red-orange cloth, layered red-and-white flower garlands and gold bangles, with a saffron-coloured wrap visible. A man in red-brown robes with gold borders stands before the throne, extending his hands in greeting. In the foreground a bald man in an orange shawl with gold border and eyeglasses kneels and reaches toward the golden footstool. Behind them, two more men in red-brown robes with rudraksha malas sit near several decorated deity murti and kalasha-style figures under a corrugated roof. A marigold garland drapes the throne back, and a printed banner with a smiling portrait is partly visible at top left.
