An elderly man in a gold crown and a red-and-gold shawl, with white and red garlands, raises a golden kalasha-shaped vessel over the head of a younger man who kneels with palms joined, wearing an orange-saffron cloth, rudraksha mala and white-and-red garland. Two attendants in white dhotis with gold borders and rudraksha malas stand behind, one with hands folded. Gold lion-form seats, a golden throne back, and red velvet drapes frame the scene, with floral decorations on the left.
