A stage set for a devotional event under a white and gold draped canopy with a large round umbrella hanging above the central throne. A seated figure on an ornate golden throne wears an orange-and-black patterned shawl and is being attended by a person in a blue shirt who bends low before him in reverence. Around the throne are garlands of orange and red flowers and decorative floral arrangements. Several men in white dhotis and shirts, some with yellow shawls, stand behind and beside the stage, and women in white and cream saris and salwar kameez stand on the right. In the foreground, a white platform has stacks of folded white cloth and empty cardboard boxes at its base, and a woman in a white sari hurries across the right edge.
