Detailed Description
The painting depicts a large outdoor gathering under a red and gold patterned canopy, set within a lush green landscape, all framed by a dark blue border with intricate gold floral motifs. In the center, a prominent figure with a green halo around their head is seated on a raised, light purple platform, facing towards the right. This central figure is dressed in light purple robes with gold details. They are positioned on a large, white rug adorned with small pink and green floral patterns, which covers the ground beneath the canopy. Numerous other figures, mostly dressed in light purple robes and turbans, are arranged around the central figure. To the right, many figures are seated on the rug, some holding fans or musical instruments. To the left of the central figure, a line of figures in light purple robes are seated, facing the center. Further to the left, outside the rug area, a group of figures in white robes and turbans stand, holding poles that support the canopy. Below them, on the green ground, a brown horse with a red and white patterned blanket stands facing left. In the lower left corner, a dark-colored dog lies on the green ground. The upper portion of the painting features dense green foliage and brown tree trunks. The red canopy is supported by golden poles and features a repeating gold floral pattern.
