A seated figure in a saffron-orange garment with long swept-back dark hair leans forward on an ornate gold-and-red throne, extending a hand to place a garland-like adornment on the neck of a standing man. The man wears a white shirt, a dark beaded mala and a small badge, and holds his hands together in a gesture of receiving. Behind them a woman in a white sari with a red border watches. To the left, a deity murti is decorated with orange and yellow marigold garlands, and a microphone stands in the foreground. The scene is a pada puja setting with a gold-embroidered cloth draped on the stage.
