A thatched-roof hall with a dark woven wall and a red-tiled floor holds a seated figure on a red wooden throne with cushioned back. The seated figure wears an orange robe and a matching orange head covering and appears to be a statue or effigy, not a living person. A patterned rug lies before the throne with a low wooden table holding offerings, and flower vases stand beside the throne. Above hang strings of white beads, a large red paper lantern, and yellow, orange and purple cloth banners on the left and right.
