Ceremonial gathering on a stage before a gold-relief wall and red drapes. On the right, a man in an orange-red turban, white garland and gold bangles sits on a red velvet throne, the seat marked as a peetha. Seated in front are several men in orange-and-white ritual dress with rudraksha malas and gold necklaces, some with white forehead markings. A young boy holding a microphone sits at left. A man in a white shawl and gold necklaces sits at center beside a gold-framed panel. The seated men are not identifiable by face; the figure on the throne in orange turban and garlands is a person by his orange turban, garlands and ornate ceremonial attire, seated as the central honoured guest.
