A devotee in white clothes with a saffron-orange shawl bows low with forehead to the floor before a gilded throne-like seat with ornate golden carvings. The devotee has long black hair with a flower in it. A red-and-gold robed figure seated on the throne is partly visible above, with a garland of pink flowers draped over the shoulder. A brass plate with flowers and a white cloth lies near the devotee's hands. The setting appears to be a night-time ceremonial gathering with white-clad attendants standing in the background.
