Indoor ceremonial scene in a temple-like hall with golden ornate backdrop. On the left, a man with long dreadlocks, a beard and a smile wears an orange-brown cloth, a rudraksha mala and a necklace, and reaches out holding a white and maroon cloth bag printed with a red portrait. Beside him, a woman in a green blouse and red-pink sari with gold jewellery and a bun holds the other end of the bag. On the right, a young man in a maroon kurta bends forward to receive it. A silver cup and small silver tray sit on a side table, and a silver figure of an animal appears at the bottom. Behind, a painted portrait of a bearded figure in red turban and garland and a standing woman in a pink and green sari with gold jewellery add to the scene; a few other people in orange clothing are partly visible.
