A woman with long dark hair stands at left in a red-orange shawl over a dark top and teal skirt, palms pressed together in namaste, beside an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushions. A large backdrop shows a smiling man with a jeweled crown, tilak, beaded garlands and a bright glow, with a golden trident beside him. Behind a brass railing, about two dozen women sit on red carpet in orange and white saris, many with hands folded in prayer and beaded necklaces, while one woman in a beige sari sits in the front row.
