A seated figure on an ornate golden throne raises one hand in blessing while holding a golden staff topped with a crown-like finial. The throne is backed by a large heart-shaped arrangement of multicoloured flower garlands in red, orange, yellow, purple and white. The figure wears a red top, layered gold and beaded necklaces, and a gold crown. Around the throne, about a dozen people stand or kneel with their backs to the camera, most in white shirts and white dhotis or saris, with a woman in red and white and a man in an orange shawl. Gilded lion-like carvings and temple-style sculptures frame the dais, and small brass oil lamps sit at the lower corners.
