A seated figure on an ornate throne is being garlanded by a shirtless priest in a yellow dhoti with a green-and-gold border and a sacred thread. The throne is decorated with a large heart-shaped floral backdrop of red, yellow, white and orange flowers, flanked by silver trishula staffs and a gold lion figure. The seated figure wears a dark-red and gold garment and has a rudraksha mala and gold chain, while a second person in a shawl with bangles and a saffron cloth assists, holding the garland. Green foliage decorates the background. The scene suggests a garlanding ceremony at a throne.
