A stage performance in front of a blue and yellow painted backdrop strung with fairy lights. A gilded throne-like seat draped with a red cushion, a peacock feather, and garlands of yellow marigolds and white flowers stands at left. A man in a red kurta and white dhoti, with a white garland, stands on a step before the throne, reaching toward a young woman in a turquoise sari and white flower-decorated hair. Beside her, a man in a golden turban and maroon embroidered tunic offers papers, and a girl in a green top and white trousers stands with hands folded in namaste. Another figure in a red sari stands at the right edge. The setting suggests a staged cultural programme.
