A staged ceremonial scene on a stage with a grey brick-patterned backdrop and dark blue curtains. A seated figure on a gold-framed throne with a flower-garlanded backrest and a striped red and yellow canopy wears a pink and red garment with a garland, and a bare-headed white-clad priest with a red shawl stands at left near a garlanded deity murti in a glass-like shrine. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides, and three attendants gather around the throne: one in an orange dhoti with a red-and-black patterned top, one in a red and black garment, and one in a blue kurta with a black vest and a dark cap. The seated figure is shown with a crown-like headpiece, but the person's identity cannot be determined from appearance, so the figure is treated as a role-played seated figure on a throne.
