A figure in orange robes with long dark hair sits on a zebra-striped cushioned seat with white pillows, hands pressed together in anjali.

Around them many men in white dhotis and shirts, some wearing lanyards, move across a red carpet, with a man in a light lavender shirt and a standing crowd behind a flower-decorated pillar. Colourful garlands of red and yellow flowers and orchids decorate the seat.
