Five people stand on a red carpet in front of a stage with a large painted backdrop of a deity and a gold-framed decorative panel. On the left, a woman in a blue and gold sari with a purple shawl stands beside a man with long dark hair wearing an orange turban and orange robes, barefoot. Next to him, an older bald man in orange robes stands with hands folded in front of him, beside another orange-robed man. At far right, a man in a white kurta, dark vest and white dhoti stands beside a yellow and purple inaugural board. Two large yellow-and-purple signboards behind them show printed text on black panels, with decorative yellow motifs and oil lamp designs. The scene appears to be a foundation-stone or inauguration ceremony with dignitaries and religious figures.
