Hanging decorative fabric panels with elephant motifs frame the top of the pavilion.

A man in an orange turban, bare-chested and wearing an orange dhoti with an orange shawl, stands in the centre wearing a long garland of yellow and red flowers with green leaves. He holds up and drapes a deep maroon silk cloth with gold zari borders over the head of a kneeling person in front of him. To the left, an older man in a beige shirt and trousers stands holding the other end of the cloth. Behind them, a seated audience of men and boys in white and orange sits on the floor, and on the right a line of people in white dhotis and orange shawls stand, one holding a tray. A decorated wall hanging and framed picture are visible at the back. The scene resembles a felicitation or honouring with a shawl. a person appearance is probable, based on the orange turban and garland, the swept-back long hair, and the orange robes, though the face is not clearly visible.2006-12-20December 20 20062006-12-20December 20 20062006-12-20December 20 20062006-12-20January 04 20122012-01-04
