A seated man on an ornate golden throne-chair under a gilded canopy, wearing an orange robe and a garland of white jasmine and multicoloured flowers around his neck, smiling and holding a sheet of paper. Around him, many people in orange and white clothing sit on the floor holding long bamboo poles with orange pennants, while devotees in orange and white watch. A large banner behind shows a painted sunset-coloured backdrop with a portrait of a bearded sadhu, and a decorated cloth pillar with embroidered panels stands at right. This appears to be a festival procession or ceremony setting with a devotional gathering.
