A crowded ceremonial scene in a temple-like hall, with a large silver trident (trishul) at right and a golden ornamental finial at left. A bearded man in a green and maroon silk garment with heavy gold bangles and a gold wristwatch stands at right, palms pressed together in greeting. Beside him, a smiling elderly man in a saffron-orange robe and yellow shawl with white tilak presses his palms before a seated figure whose back is turned, draped in a rust-brown cloth and wearing a red and pink flower garland. A white-bearded man in a saffron robe and white tilak, with a rudraksha-style necklace, stands behind with hands folded. Several other men in saffron and orange cloths, some bare-chested with white forehead markings, surround the group. Garlands and festoons decorate the background.
