A seated figure in a wooden high-backed chair with brown leather upholstery adjusts a purple orchid garland on their head with both hands. They wear a thick yellow-orange marigold garland around the neck and a reddish-orange garment, with a bindi on the forehead and a red-and-white thread bracelet on the wrist. Behind them a large audience sits in rows, many smiling and some wearing glasses; a few wear lanyards. Dark venue lighting frames the scene.
