Behind the throne is a floral arch of yellow marigolds with red, white and green garland stripes, and golden temple carvings surround the scene. On the left, a man in white dhoti and a shawl with gold border claps and laughs, and on the right women in red and orange saris clap and smile while others crowd the edges. Rose petals lie on the platform. The setting is a temple-like hall with a standing fan and golden deity figures in the background.
