A stage under a white tent with a red carpet and an ornate gold-painted backdrop with floral marigold garlands. A seated figure in an orange-red robe and matching turban sits on a golden throne with a white floral wreath behind. A man in white clothes bends forward toward the seated figure, while another man in white stands at right holding a tray, and a few more people in orange-and-white attire stand at the right edge. A cushioned chair stands at left and floral arrangements sit at the far right. The seated figure is a sitting figure on a throne, so the appearance is not clear enough for a confident identification.
