A ceremonial stage with a golden relief wall behind it. A seated figure on a red-cushioned golden throne is framed by a canopy of yellow marigold garlands and green and red floral strands, with a red cloth and a golden chair. The seated person wears a rudraksha mala, a long red garland and a gold necklace, with long swept-back dark hair and a crown-like ornament, and is smiling. A trident stands at left beside a kneeling attendant in white dhoti and shawl. At right, a standing attendant in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl holds a sacred cord. Another seated person in orange garments sits at lower right. Several people are visible; the setting suggests a formal honouring ceremony.
