A seated figure in white ceremonial dress with a white turban sits on an ornate golden throne (peetha) decorated with red, yellow and orange flower garlands on a raised red-carpeted stage. The figure has palms pressed together in a namaskar gesture and wears a long beaded necklace. Tall brass oil lamps (lamps) stand on either side of the throne, and rows of small lit lamps and white jasmine strands decorate the dark backdrop with gold panels. Photographers with cameras crouch at the stage edge in the foreground, and a few spectators are partly visible at the bottom of the frame. A brass kalasha stands at right. The scene is an evening event stage, with a banner of woven red, green and gold cloth on a shelf above the throne.
