A man in orange robes with a shawl draped over his head and a gold garland stands at center, one hand resting on another man's shoulder. That second man wears orange robes with maroon-edged borders, a white flower garland, and long dark hair, and is bending forward toward the lingam. Another person in orange robes stands at the right edge, partly cropped, and a red curtain hangs behind. Several heads are visible in the lower foreground, and a small purple-and-gold cloth hangs at far left.
