A man seated on the platform wears saffron-orange clothing, a saffron head wrap, a white flower garland around his neck, a gold-toned ornate pendant, and gold armlets. Lamplight and soft purple-pink stage lighting fill the scene, with a person's shoulder and a bell-shaped metal vessel visible in the foreground. The seated figure has long-running cues consistent with a person: saffron clothing, a garland and ornate gold adornment, seated in ceremonial procession on a decorated ratha.
