A stage event before a large backdrop of reddish-orange banyan tree roots and temple columns. A seated figure in orange robes sits on a gold-trimmed throne decorated with yellow and red flowers and a floral garland, while devotees attend him. A woman in a pink blouse and white sari holds up a paper or offering, and another woman in a yellow salwar kameez kneels at the foot of the throne, as in padapuja. Other women in white and light blue saris stand nearby, and a man in a white shirt and a white-robed attendant wearing an orange shawl stand at the left. Two standing fans and flower arrangements flank the stage.
