A bare-chested man in an orange-and-gold shawl, with a red tilak on his forehead, a short topknot, gold beaded necklaces and a gold bangle, stands at right placing his right hand on the head of a shaven-headed man in a white shirt at left, whose hands are pressed together in a gesture of receiving. A deep maroon curtain hangs behind them and a gold-coloured vessel is visible at lower centre.
