Under a purple draped canopy, a bearded man in a saffron-orange robe and orange turban sits on a silver-framed red throne, wearing a white flower garland, with his hands resting on his lap. Before him stands a garlanded deity murti with a yellow and green flower garland. The carpet is striped in red, green and blue. Spectators in white clothing line the riverbank in the background.
