A seated man in a maroon-brown robe is garlanded with white jasmine strands and red rose garlands, with yellow flowers woven in, while flower petals fall around him. He smiles and raises one hand in a wave, with a red tilak on his forehead. A standing figure in a white shirt and white dhoti, seen from behind at left, holds a metal vessel above him and scatters petals. Behind him hang an orange cloth backdrop, pink and gold draped fabric, and a fan at right, with a small framed devotional picture on the far right. Seated figures in white and gold sarees appear at the edges of the scene. Presumably a welcoming garland ceremony. A visible candidate is seated and garlanded, but his face and identity cannot be confirmed from appearance.
