A man with long dark braided hair, a full beard, a white flower crown and a smile sits behind a heap of white and pink petals while another person pours petals from a metal vessel. He wears a rust-orange robe, layered gold necklaces with a large gold pendant, and gold armbands. Behind him stand gold-coloured deity figures, a brass kalasha-style vessel with curved horns, green leaves and a brass oil lamp. Several hands and a partly visible person in a yellow garment frame the scene. The figure has distinctive long hair, a crown and ornate gold adornments; appearance suggests a person candidate seated in a ritual setting receiving petal offerings, though it is uncertain.
