Indoor ceremonial scene in which a figure in a tall orange-red turban, bare-chested with an orange and gold shawl and a thick ornate gold-and-beige beaded necklace, reaches forward to place a red-and-orange shawl around the shoulders of a smiling woman in white. The woman wears a white sari, a red bindi, a wristwatch and a red thread bracelet, and her hands are pressed together. Behind them stand several women in white and cream saris, one with a gold pendant, and a small brass lamp glows on the right against a backdrop of draped red fabric and gold decor. Two people in orange and white appear at the far right. The turbaned figure's ornate necklace and turban suggest a ceremonial role, but identity cannot be confirmed from appearance.
