A person with long dark hair and a red bindi sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet back, hands pressed together in namaste with eyes closed. The person wears a white embroidered kurta and cream dhoti, with a gold bangle on the wrist. A long garland of white jasmine and pink flowers hangs from the neck, and the throne is decorated with yellow, orange and red flower garlands and white jasmine strands. A white-canopied umbrella with jasmine hangs above, against a dark maroon backdrop, on a white-covered stage. The throne is seated and being honoured, but the appearance cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the person is described by role as a seated figure receiving honour.
