A seated long-haired figure in a red silk top with gold embroidered trim and a gold-brown shawl sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne before a deep blue curtain, with a red bindi on the forehead. A man in a white shirt kneels at the left with his palms pressed together in reverence, and a young woman in a white and gold-bordered sari kneels at the right, her hand resting near the seated figure's arm. Appearance cues of long swept hair, red-and-gold ceremonial clothing and a throne make the seated figure a person in person, but the identity is not certain from appearance alone. Two physical people are visible in the scene.
