A stage at an indoor event shows a central ornate gilded throne draped with marigold and flower garlands, under a decorative canopy with orange and white fringe. A figure seated on the throne wears a red-and-gold robe and a white turban, and a woman in white kneels before him with her hands raised, while a man in saffron robes with a garland kneels beside. Attendants in white and saffron stand on the sides, two beneath patterned umbrellas, and several people in white sit on the lower steps. A white cloth covers the platform, and a decorative pillar with painted animals frames the scene. The figure on the throne appears to be a person, identified by his turban, red-gold robe and throne setting; the central figure's identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
