A seated man on a richly carved gold throne with a red velvet back, decorated with pink, orange and yellow marigold and jasmine garlands and a floral canopy overhead. He wears a cream turban, a deep red silk kurta with gold trim and a long rose-pink garland, and smiles toward the left. Two people are present: a man in white kurta with an orange shawl kneels at the left on a white cloth, and a person in a white and gold sari lies prostrate at the lower right, her head near the throne's base with scattered petals. The stage backdrop is black drapery. Whether the seated man is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance; the cues are a turban, long hair and a garland, shown as a throne scene with devotees.

A seated man on a gilded, ornate throne with a red heart-shaped back cushion, decorated with garlands of marigolds, roses and white jasmine, with a flower canopy above. He wears a cream turban, a red-maroon sherwani-style garment with gold trim, a multicolour rose and marigold garland, and a cream dhoti.
