A man seated on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet back, decorated with flower garlands and a floral canopy above, on a stage with a dark drape. He wears a cream turban, a red-maroon kurta and a long multicolour flower garland, with a red dot on his forehead. A woman in white, long hair down, bends forward and reaches toward him while holding a saffron shawl. To the left, a kneeling man in saffron-orange robes and a gold necklace looks up at the throne. White sheets and scattered petals cover the stage floor. Appearance-based cues on the seated man (long hair, ornate garlands, throne) match the page's subject, so this is a person seated in person on the throne.
