A ceremonial scene on a stage before an ornate silver throne with a carved floral backrest. A seated man with a long dark braided top-knot, wearing an orange-red robe, a heavy gold necklace with a large pendant, gold armbands and a red-and-gold shawl, sits on a red cushion with a leopard-print cloth. Beside him stands a woman with long dreadlocked hair in an orange-red wrap and beaded necklace, her arms and shoulders marked with white paint, holding a silver trident. A shirtless man with white ash markings on his back and a white cloth tied on his head, wearing a white dhoti with a gold border, is embraced from behind by the woman and kneels before the seated figure. A silver lion statue and a microphone are at the right edge. Three people are visible.
