A standing man in orange saffron robes and an orange turban stands barefoot on a green mat under a canopy with orange and red mandala patterns. He wears a long white and multicolour flower garland with red flower tassels and a gold ceremonial necklace. Beside him is a tall brass oil lamp draped with white jasmine strands, and in front of him are platters of bananas, apples, limes and flowers as offerings. Behind him, a man in white clothes with a rainbow-coloured pendant stands near a framed portrait on an easel and other seated people in white. A white-covered chair sits to the right. The scene suggests an inauguration-style ceremony with offerings.
