A stage event before an ornate golden shrine arch with a gilded umbrella and carved figures, and a bouquet-like floral backdrop in red, yellow, purple and green. A bearded man in orange robes stands at centre, holding a folded orange cloth; beside him a man in an orange robe and red head-cover receives it with hands joined. At right, a person in a red turban and a multicolour flower garland wears a rust-coloured wrap and gold bangles. A seated man in orange with a rudraksha mala sits at far left, and other orange-clad people stand at right. The scene reads as a formal honouring or ceremonial exchange on stage.
