On the right, a figure in an orange-red turban, orange-red robe, heavy gold necklaces and a gold armband sits on a brown leather chair, extending one arm forward. Before them, a man in white clothes with a red-orange shawl kneels and bows with palms joined, receiving the touch on his forehead. Behind them, seated and standing women in white, orange and red shawls watch; one woman in a red sari holds a rudraksha mala. A brass vessel and a gold-framed pole are in the foreground.
