A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe and matching turban sits on an ornate red throne with silver lion-head armrests and silver filigree, while a man in a white shirt, grey trousers and gold-rimmed glasses drapes a white jasmine garland over the figure's head. The seated figure wears a rudraksha mala with a gold pendant. A woman in a gold sari stands behind, and red flower petals and a white flower garland lie at the feet. Blue and red painted carved pillars with yellow marigold garlands frame the scene. The seated figure's identity is uncertain from appearance; the figure is shown receiving a garland.
