A festive stage event with a gilded throne covered in garlands of white jasmine and yellow and magenta flowers, with a red cushion. A man with long swept-back hair, wearing a peach-gold embroidered kurta and light blue dhoti with a multicolour garland, sits on the throne and receives gifts. A young man in an orange-saffron robe stands behind him holding a stack of pink-wrapped packages. A young girl in a red outfit with gold trim and red bangles approaches to offer a gift, while other girls in red, teal and orange-gold salwar-style dresses wait at the right. Balloons in purple, orange, green and red decorate the backdrop, and white and purple flower garlands line the dais.
