A priest in a rust-orange turban and gold-trimmed clothing stands at the left edge, tying a yellow thread around the wrist of a golden deity murti seated on a decorated throne. The murti wears a tall golden crown with a tilak and an ornate jewelled necklace and bangles, with a green-and-gold sari-style garment. Behind it, a seated figure in a pale gold-and-white robe with a red turban and a second murti are framed by garlands of yellow marigolds, red roses and green leaves, with a gold-framed arch and a maroon curtain behind. The scene appears to be a marriage-themed ritual with a thread-tying gesture. No living persons are clearly visible beyond the priest.
