A seated figure in an orange-red turban and a saffron shawl, draped with a multicolour garland of orange marigolds, white flowers, green leaves and red beads, sits on a red-and-gold throne-like seat with a gold lion-shaped armrest. A woman in a red-bordered sari with a red shawl and a bindi kneels at right, holding out a small item toward the seated figure, while a Western woman in white kneels in front with a metal tray of brass bowls and offerings. Behind them, a crowd of people in white and red clothing stands in a dim hall with a palm-leaf decoration and a fan. Several women in red and white saris stand at right.
