A seated figure in orange-saffron robes and a saffron head cloth sits on an ornate gold throne, draped with thick garlands of red, yellow and purple flowers. Eyes closed, hands resting in the lap, he appears in a devotional ceremony. In front, a group of priests in white dhotis and shawls, some bare-chested with gold chains, sits on the floor with folded hands. Women in saris and a young girl in red attend nearby. Brass and silver trays of flowers, fruit and offerings sit before the throne. A second empty gold throne stands behind, a tall ceremonial staff with a finial stands at left, and a large backdrop banner shows a smiling man in orange cloth. Hall is bright with white walls and a red-trimmed table at right.
