A golden throne draped with a tiger-striped cloth dominates the left side, where a seated figure in orange-brown robes with a gold-bordered sash and a red-and-white flower garland is partly visible, feet resting on the platform. In front, a round golden tray holds many silver bowls of fruit, flowers and sweets with red blossoms. Around it sit several women in orange and saffron clothing with rudraksha malas; one man in a white kurta and glasses sits near the centre, and a woman in white with beads sits behind him. The setting is a dark room with a carved wooden door on the right.
