A festive stage event under a decorated canopy. A person with long dark hair, a gold necklace and a white garment with gold border sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, wrapped in rainbow-coloured flower garlands, smiling and raising both hands in greeting. Before them a woman in a white top and white trousers bends forward to offer a printed certificate or card. Beside her a woman in a cream-yellow sari with light border stands with palms pressed together. On the right a man in white kurta with a mala necklace also folds his hands in greeting, and other white-clad devotees stand behind. The throne has a gold lion-head armrest and a circular arch decorated with flowers and white stripes.
