A seated man on an ornate golden throne with lion-head armrests receives a large orange marigold garland from a woman in white who bends toward him. He has long dark hair and wears a rust-coloured cloth and a leopard-print wrap, with a silver trident standing to the left. Behind him, a seated audience in orange, saffron and white clothes fills a wood-panelled hall. Several monks in orange robes with rudraksha malas sit in the foreground, including a shaved-headed man in glasses and a man with a bare upper body and beaded necklaces at right. A golden lion statue sits near the throne. The identity of the seated figure is uncertain from appearance alone.
