A decorated ceremonial throne centred in the frame, with a seated figure in orange robes and an orange head covering, hands joined in namaskar, framed by a large ornate arch of cream, silver and brown beading and garlands of red and yellow flowers. Two oval portraits flank the arch: on the left a smiling man in a white turban, on the right a smiling man in an orange turban. Below the throne, orange and yellow balloons, fruit and flower garlands decorate the stage. The figure on the throne is a single seated person; the portraits are printed images, not physical people.
