Several seated figures in saffron and orange robes sit on the stage around a central figure on a golden throne, with a red-turbaned attendant nearby and ceremonial fans and standards on either side. In the foreground, a large audience of men in white dhotis and white shirts with red-and-orange shawls sits cross-legged on colourful mats, many with their backs to the camera.
