A seated man in an orange-red dhoti and matching shawl, with a dark tall turban and a gold necklace, smiles and raises one hand in a blessing gesture on a leopard-print cushioned throne. Behind him a heart-shaped frame is densely decorated with yellow and orange marigold garlands and ornate multicoloured bead work. Around the throne, several men in white dhotis with gold-yellow borders sit and stand, many holding oranges, and some wear white shirts and lanyard badges. Two men in orange cloth stand in the background, one with long dreadlocks. Red flower petals lie on the red floor. The man on the throne has distinctive long turban-style hair and ceremonial gold ornaments, and is presented as the central honoured figure; the throne and honouring alone do not confirm his identity.
