The seated person wears a saffron-orange turban and saffron garments, with a blue-purple silk shawl draped over the shoulders, a rudraksha-style mala, and a long white and red flower garland around the neck. A woman in a white sari with grey stripes, with a flower in her hair and gold bangles, leans in from the left to adorn him. On the right, a bare-chested older man in a white dhoti with a black belt places his hands on the seat. Behind them, a blue banner bears Tamil text and a yellow emblem, and ornate painted ceiling panels hang above strings of bulbs. Several standing men in white shirts and dhotis watch in the background.
