A seated man with a long braided hairstyle? No, short-cropped hair and a golden halo-like crown sits on a leopard-patterned seat under a floral arch of yellow marigolds and red roses. He wears a rust-orange shawl over bare shoulders, a white-and-pink flower garland, gold armbands and a gold pendant. Beside him, a priest in white dhoti with a bare upper body and tilak applies a ritual, while a woman in a white sari with a gold border kneels among golden cushions. A gilded throne with a red floral backdrop stands behind a second floral arch, and fern leaves and white flowers line the foreground against purple lighting.
