A standing figure in a rust-brown dhoti-style wrap and gold waist belt, with a gold-and-red garland and gold armlets, places his right hand on the head of a kneeling man in an ivory embroidered kurta with a red garland, who presses his palms together. Beside him a woman in a green and gold sari, bangles and hands folded, bows her head. Onlookers stand behind, including a woman in a yellow sari and a child.
