A seated man with long dark hair wearing an orange saffron robe, a red and yellow garland, gold necklaces and a bead mala sits on an ornate gold and red throne beneath a floral arch of white, purple, yellow and red flowers. A deity murti decorated with white flower garlands stands to the left, and a devotee at the lower centre appears to be touching or offering at the throne's footrest. Crowds of devotees in white and red dress surround the raised platform, with red stone steps and potted flowers behind. The scene resembles a Dasara celebration ceremony with padapuja-style veneration, though the seated figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance.
