A seated figure in white and gold garments sits on an ornate throne decorated with garlands of orange marigolds and white flowers, beneath an elaborate arched backdrop of white flower work with yellow and red geometric panels. Attendants in white and cream saris and white dhotis hold ceremonial fans and umbrellas; one woman in orange offers a flower-decorated tray, and brass offering plates and fruit sit on the platform. Marigold and flower petals are scattered at the base. The scene appears to be a festive celebration at a temple-style hall.
