A man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne is honoured on a dark stage. He wears a cream turban, a red silk garment with gold trim, and a long pink-and-orange flower garland, and smiles while sitting with his feet bare. A kneeling man in a white kurta and a kneeling woman in white clothes reach toward him, touching the garland and his feet. A standing man in an orange-saffron robe with a gold necklace and a rudraksha mala looks on. A flower-covered parasol canopy with white jasmine and orange blooms stands above the throne, and petals are scattered on the floor.
