A seated man in white ritual clothing and a white turban sits on a red and gold throne decorated with garlands of orange and yellow marigolds, hands pressed together in namaste. Above him hangs a red and gold canopy. Tall silver oil lamps flank the throne on a stage with a dark backdrop, golden carved panels, and rows of small decorative ornaments. Several men in light shirts and dark trousers sit or stand at the stage edge, some partly visible at the bottom of the frame, watching the seated figure. The seated man's appearance is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm the page's claim, so he is described by role only.
