A seated figure in saffron-brown robes and a gold necklace sits on a cushioned throne framed by a rainbow-colored floral arch of red, orange, yellow and white flowers. The raised golden platform is garlanded with marigolds and flowers, and a long pale carpet runs from the front toward the stage. Yellow draped tables with floral garlands flank the stage. The figure's face is too small and blurred to confirm identity, so the figure is described by role as a seated speaker on a throne.2013-04-20 +1 copiesApril 20 20132013-04-20
