A stage event with a decorated backdrop of white and gold patterned panels framed by orange drapes and bands of flowers. Central figure seated on a white-covered platform wears a saffron and pink garland and a white turban-like head covering, with a red cushion behind him; a person by appearance cues of garland and seated honoured position, though his face is partly obscured. Around him, several people in white dhotis and saffron-bordered garments kneel or stand; a young boy in white and orange sits at left, and women in white and saffron saris stand at right. A white elephant figure with decorative trappings stands at the right edge, and the floor is scattered with flower petals on a blue carpet. A ritual honouring of the seated figure appears to be taking place.
