A seated man in reddish-brown robes and a pink-and-white flower garland sits on the throne, which is draped with leopard and tiger skins, while a golden bell-hung structure rises above. A priest with his back to the camera, wearing an orange turban and orange shawl, holds up a lit oil lamp toward him. Three women sit in the foreground, one with a long braid in a red top, one in green, and one in a dark top. Two large painted deity statues in orange and gold flank the scene.
