The seated figure wears an orange-red cloth and a red turban with a feather, a rudraksha-style mala and gold ornaments on the arms; the figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), the presenter of this celebration, shown at a ceremonial seat. Ornate silver-embroidered panels frame the canopy, and red flowers and small pots sit in the foreground, with a few partial figures at the bottom edge.
