A stage set for a celebration, with a single seated figure on a red-cushioned gold throne at the centre. The figure wears orange and saffron robes with a matching orange shawl and sits under an ornate gold canopy trimmed with yellow and orange flowers and white garlands. Green uplighting bathes the backdrop, which displays painted symbols including a crescent moon, a shiva lingam with three horizontal stripes, a damaru drum, a trident, an om symbol, a white dove and a ceremonial staff. Tall brass lamps with lit flames stand on either side of the throne, and flower arrangements sit on white pedestals. The figure is a statue or lifelike effigy rather than a living person, and no physical people are visible in the scene.
