A young boy with a shaved head and white cloth tied across his eyes stands barefoot on a ceremonial stage beside a golden throne. He wears only a white dhoti and a thin white cord at his neck. A seated figure in a maroon dhoti and a long lotus-bud garland rests bare feet on a carved golden stool, and a red cushion is visible behind the throne. Two attendants in white garments and gold-bordered cloth support the boy's shoulders and head. Purple stage light and a gold-carved platform complete the scene.
