A golden ceremonial throne decorated with flower garlands in red, yellow and white, backed by a yellow flower wall and a striped rainbow arch. A man seated on the throne wears a white shawl, a gold necklace and red-and-white garlands, smiling as a standing figure in orange robes lifts a gold crown above his head. Other saffron-robed attendants hold a large flat cream board, and one man in an orange shirt and gold chain stands at the lower left. Several people in saffron clothing surround the dais. Ornate gold peetha-style seating and a gold lion-head finial appear at the front. The scene reads as a formal coronation-style celebration; the seated man is a candidate for a person based on the gold crown and decorated throne, though the face and clothing cues are uncertain.
