A seated bearded man in a brown-orange robe and a white-and-purple flower garland sits smiling on a leopard-print cushioned throne in front of a large yellow flower arrangement with red petals. A shirtless man in beige trousers kneels at left, holding out a plate, while a woman in a red and gold sari kneels at right offering items on a tray. A brass lamp stand with an ornate golden base stands in the foreground. Other people in white dhotis and garlands, one in turquoise, surround the scene on a striped floral mat. The bearded seated man shows a distinctive ceremonial figure with a garland and throne, with cues limited to his brown robe and flower garland, so identity is uncertain.
