In the foreground, a figure with long swept-back hair, wearing a saffron-orange robe with a cream garland of white flowers and a rudraksha mala, sits facing a seated couple. A woman in a green-trimmed white sari with a red floral garland and a man in a white shirt with a red garland kneel before him; the man holds a red fruit and offers it. Behind them, devotees in white shirts and saffron robes stand with palms pressed together in namaskar, and several boys and a young girl are visible.
