Devotees in white and yellow-bordered clothing crowd around a seated figure on a golden throne on a red-carpeted stage. The seated figure wears a white and silver outfit, a pink and white garland, and a white headwrap with a gold-trimmed backdrop. Women in white saris with gold borders and yellow shawls stand beside men in white shirts, some pressing palms together in greeting. A woman in a red-orange sari stands at right. The backdrop shows a painted night sky with a sun, planets and stars. Appearance is consistent with a person in the seated role, given the throne, garland and white-and-silver attire, though the face is not clearly visible.
