A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with red cushions wears an orange-saffron robe with gold border, a white forehead tilak, a floral garland and armbands, with hands folded in his lap. In front, a shaved-headed priest in orange robes with white sacred ash markings on his arms and chest sits with palms pressed together in prayer. A woman in a white sari with a red and green border kneels with palms joined. Silver offering plates with flowers and fruit sit on the floor, and a cream-coloured pillar frames the scene beside a white cooler and blue-panelled wall. The throne figure's appearance has several cues consistent with the page's identification, so this is a person seated on the throne during a ritual honouring.
