A seated figure in a saffron-orange turban, orange robe with yellow border and a long beaded necklace sits on a golden ornate throne with a carved gold backrest and golden lion-head armrests before a dark red velvet curtain. He holds a tray of offerings with yellow fruit and flower petals while a shaved-headed attendant in an orange robe with yellow border, glasses and a wristband kneels and presents a plate of flowers and food, a microphone stand beside them. The seated man has a distinctive turban and ornate necklace, so this is a person seen in person on a dais.
