A ceremonial exchange in a temple-style hall. A seated man on the left wears a red-orange turban, a red-and-gold dhoti-style garment, a long gold necklace with a large pendant, and gold armlets; he smiles and rests his hand on a red cloth. Facing him, a man in a saffron-orange robe and saffron cap leans forward, holding pink and red flowers over the cloth. Behind them, a bald man in orange and a few people in red and gold garments stand near brass lamps and a vase of roses, with yellow marigolds in a brass tray in the foreground. Purple and red ribbon-wrapped gifts sit on the table.
