Outdoors beside a forest stream, a seated figure in an orange-red robe, a red turban, a large white flower garland and gold ornaments sits on a silver-framed throne-like seat with a silver trident behind. Around them, several men in white dhotis with gold borders and red shawls hold red and orange fringed ceremonial parasols over the water, while a man in white stands waist-deep in the stream behind. Seated devotees in white and orange garments face the figure in the foreground, and a woman in orange holds a brass plate. The figure is an appearance-based unsure candidate for a person, identified only by clothing and turban rather than face; the people around them are attendants and devotees in a river ceremony.
