In the foreground, a person wrapped in a white turban with a yellow border and a multicoloured flower garland, bare-shouldered, leans toward a smiling man in white shirt with a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant. The person's hand rests on the man's forehead in blessing. Behind them, several men in white kurtas and orange shawls stand near a red floor and a fan, one holding a white cloth to his face. Flower petals lie on the floor at the bottom right.
