A seated man on a gold-and-red throne is raising a bunch of green leaves in his right hand while a younger man in orange clothes and an orange turban holds a silver vessel toward him. The seated man wears a leopard-print headband, a rust-brown robe, layered gold necklaces, a long garland of yellow marigolds, red roses and white flowers, and red bangles. A silver trident stands beside the throne. Behind them, another person in white dhoti is partly visible and a potted plant appears at the left edge. The orange-clad attendant has white sacred ash marks on his arms and chest and wears rudraksha beads. The scene reads as a ritual blessing with a sprinkling vessel.
