A ceremonial scene inside a decorated hall with a garland-draped canopy of red and yellow marigolds and white flowers. A bald, white-tilaked man in a yellow silk garment is being supported under the canopy by a man in white dhoti and gold-bordered shawl, who holds the yellow cloth. A young attendant in orange-saffron cloth with rudraksha beads stands behind, and another attendant in white with gold border stands at right holding a tray. Behind them is a gold throne with leopard-print cushion and red floral decoration, with more floral garlands on the pillars. The scene resembles a puja or guru-puja ceremony, with white flower arrangements in the foreground.
