Ceremonial stage scene with a large four-armed deity murti painted on the backdrop, holding a trident-like staff and other emblems, framed by ornate gold-and-stone pillars and gold-embroidered cushioned canopies. In the centre, a standing man in orange robes with a garland of white and yellow flowers is being honoured by a man with long swept-back hair, a dark rust-brown turban, brown robes, and a beaded mala at the neck, who places the garland on him. A gold lion statue and a gilded panel stand at the side. Many people with a kalasha and gold decorations surround the scene.
