A seated figure in a saffron-red wrap and a tall black-wound headdress sits eyes closed before a floral backdrop of white, yellow and red flowers framed by a blue and gold ornate arch. He wears layered garlands of red and white flowers, a gold pendant, a gold waist ornament and a gold armlet, with a white forehead band and a red bindi. A man in a pink headcloth and white-marked bare torso holds a wrapped bundle of green leaves over the seated figure's head and a blue-and-white vessel in his other hand. A leopard-print seat cushion and a gold lion-head armrest are visible. The seated figure matches appearance cues for a person, with a distinctive headdress, ornate gold jewellery and garlands, and is receiving a ritual blessing with leaves and water from a priest. The image is a photo of a live ceremony with two physical people visible.
