Outdoor festival scene under a canopy of red, orange and yellow pennants and bunting. A smiling figure with long dark hair, a white turban, a red flower garland and a white jasmine garland sits on a red-and-gold throne, wearing an orange saffron-coloured robe and gold ornaments. A young man in white clothes with a black belt bows low with his head before the seated figure, which lays a hand on his head in blessing. A large crowd of mostly women in white and orange attire sits and stands behind them, many smiling and clapping, with garlands and flower offerings in the foreground.
