A seated man wearing a rust-orange turban and orange-red robe, with a long garland of orange marigolds, white flowers and green leaves draped over his shoulders, receives small yellow cards from a young woman in a turquoise-blue sari with a braid and flower in her hair, who bends forward with her palms together. Behind them a woman in orange-red robes and a rudraksha mala stands with a hand raised, another woman in a yellow sari with a gold border and a woman in white look on, and a golden lion-headed seat or ornament sits beside the man against red cushions. A banana-leaf backdrop and an orange-and-green cloth hang behind, with a gathered crowd in the dim evening background.
