A man in a blue checked shirt and dark trousers leans in to place a red flower garland around the figure's neck, while a woman in a green blouse and white sari with folded hands looks on. Several other people stand behind in orange and white clothing, and brass trays of offerings and fruit sit on a table at the lower right. The figure has long dark hair and a swept-back style, with orange robes and a golden necklace, and appears to be the honoured guest of a pada pooja at a devotee's home.
