A seated man on an ornate gold throne with red cushions wears a green flower garland, orange robes and a rudraksha mala, and he is the main figure of the scene. A colourful umbrella with painted panels stands behind him. In front, a group of girls and a young boy in saffron-orange robes stand in a line with rudraksha malas, flowers in their hair, and some hold hands together. Brass ritual objects include a trident, a kalasha-style vessel and oil lamps on the floor. A video camera on a tripod and standing women in white and red saris are in the background.
