Indoor temple scene with white marble shrine architecture and a floral garland arch above a doorway. A bare-chested priest in white dhoti with a red shawl places a garland around the neck of a figure in white robes with a saffron-yellow turban and a white flower garland, standing on a pink marble floor. Brass lamps and offering plates sit near the shrine steps. A man in a dark shirt and tan vest bends over at the right, and hanging bells and gold-framed decor appear in the background. Whether the garlanded figure is a person is uncertain from appearance; the white robe and saffron turban are present but the figure is largely turned away.
