A seated man in an orange-saffron dhoti and orange shawl, wearing long dark hair and a pink-and-white flower garland, sits on an ornate golden throne with a carved gold backrest and a flower-decorated wall behind him. A man in a white kurta lifts a hand above the seated man's head, with a string or cord being held near the throne. To the left, a bald man in an orange robe with a gold-coloured necklace looks down. On the right, a woman with short blonde hair wears a white top and a yellow-and-purple scarf. The seated man's appearance, long hair, saffron clothing and throne suggest a person as the honoured figure, with the other people in ritual or devotee roles.
