Indoor ceremony in a hall with a red throne bordered in gold. A long-haired person in saffron-orange robes with gold-trimmed borders and a gold necklace sits on the throne, smiling, while a devotee in an orange shawl kneels before them with hands extended. A younger attendant in orange robes and gold chain stands at right holding a silver tray of yellow offerings, and a shaved-headed priest in orange sits at lower right. Standing behind are people in white and cream clothes with white and red flower garlands, and a small child in blue clothes. Bunting hangs from the ceiling and an orange patterned pillar stands behind them. The seated figure shows only a partial appearance cue, so identity remains uncertain.
