A smiling person sits on an ornate silver and jewelled throne decorated with red, purple and gold garlands, wearing a golden crown and gold necklaces with a red and green garland. They wear a saffron-orange garment. Seated figures and onlookers in the foreground, including a man in a white shirt viewed from behind, face the throne under a gold-patterned ceiling and red-and-gold canopy decorations. Appearance is insufficient to confirm identity, so the seated person is described by role as a devotee of the event.
