A seated figure with short dark hair and a white vertical tilak on the forehead, wearing a red-orange garment and a garland of white jasmine and yellow-red flowers, extends a hand to press the forehead of a woman. The woman, in a white kurta with an orange-red shawl and hoop earrings, stands with her palms raised in front of her body, eyes closed. A small piece of white paper is held in the seated figure's other hand. A golden lion-faced throne armrest and a golden throne-like backrest frame the scene, with a silver staff or pole and a framed painting in the background. A second woman in orange-trimmed clothing and a mala watches at the right edge. a person is not identifiable from the visible cues beyond a seated role in orange garb and garlands, so identity is uncertain.
