A seated man on an ornate silver throne with lion-head armrests and a leopard-print cushion receives attention at a stage in front of red drapes. He wears a dark turban, a pink and white flower garland, layered gold necklaces and a rust-brown garment, with a leopard-print cushion beneath him. A man in a white shirt kneels at his left, touching his shoulder area, while a figure in white and gold cloth with tridents beside them kneels nearby. A woman in a long white dress and a woman in a paisley-patterned dress stand with hands folded, and a young woman in an orange sari sits near the throne. Silver trident staffs stand behind the throne and a red mat covers the platform.
