A seated figure in a maroon-red turban and rust-red robe with a leopard-print cloth, wearing a long white and red flower garland and gold armbands, smiles as he receives a small red object from a kneeling man in a white-and-blue striped shirt. The seated figure sits on a red cushioned seat on a red carpet, with a second kneeling man in white at the lower right. Behind them stand several men in white shirts and white dhotis, one wearing an orange shawl, with a woman in a maroon sari and a figure in white with gold trim at the left edge.
