A seated figure on an ornate silver-and-jewelled throne with carved lion-like arms and tiger-striped footrests, framed by a large arch of marigold garlands in red, white, yellow, green and purple stripes with peacock-feather accents. The figure wears a golden crown, a rudraksha mala and long ceremonial garland, with a maroon wrap, and holds hands in namaste. Around the dais, many women in white and cream ceremonial saris sit in rows on the ground, some with long hair, with oil lamps in the foreground and a glowing orange backdrop screen behind the stage.
