This painting shows a scene with multiple people in various poses. Some are standing, while others are sitting or kneeling. They are all dressed in traditional Indian clothing, with men wearing dhotis and women wearing saris. The background is a solid red color, which provides a striking contrast to the vibrant colors of the clothing and accessories. In the top-left corner, a man is standing on a platform, wearing a white dhoti and a pink shawl. He is holding a small object in his hand, which appears to be a prayer bead or a rosary. To his right, a group of people are gathered around a woman who is sitting on a throne-like chair. She is wearing a yellow sari and has a crown on her head. The painting is held at the Detroit Institute of Arts.
