A seated man on an ornate gold throne with leopard-print cushions wears a saffron-orange robe, a saffron turban with a white crescent emblem, multiple red and green flower garlands, a gold pendant and bangles. He extends his hand toward a bald man in white shirt and trousers who wears a red blindfold and bends forward. Behind them, a man in a white dhoti with gold border and another in orange robes stand; a camera on a tripod and a golden lion carving are visible. The figure on the throne shows distinctive ceremonial cues consistent with the page's reference to a person, seated as the presiding figure.
