A stage ceremony in a hall with dark red swagged curtains and a red banner reading Jaipurusha above. A seated figure sits on a red-cushioned golden throne decorated with green and orange flower garlands, with gold-panelled screens on either side. In front, a row of devotees in orange robes with white shoulder cloths and rudraksha beads stand facing the stage, several raising lit torches or flames toward the throne. One devotee in the foreground holds a wooden tray of green leaves. Colourful striped cloths cover the platform steps. The seated figure is only partly visible and the appearance is uncertain, so no identification is made from appearance; the page associates a person with this event.
