A stage event with a seated figure in orange robes and a garland on a decorated throne with a white floral canopy and round red-and-blue fans on either side. Behind the throne hangs a large printed portrait of a smiling man with long swept-back hair, flanked by purple drapes, colourful woven bands and yellow-and-white flower garlands. Rows of people sit on the floor before the throne: men in white kurtas with orange shawls on the left and women in orange saris on the right, some holding fans and a brass vessel. The seated figure wears an orange garment and a crown-like headpiece, and appears to be the focus of the gathering.
