A figure with long dark hair, a red bindi and an orange-saffron robe stands before a floral-decorated altar framed by a garland arch of white, purple, yellow and red flowers, with a gold deity murti and a bronze lamp on a red cushioned seat. A man in a white kurta and orange shawl leans in to embrace or greet the saffron-robed figure, and petals fall around them. Two people in white and orange shawls sit at left and a woman in orange appears at lower right. a person wears a saffron robe, long swept-back hair and red bindi, and appears to be the central honoured figure; appearance cues are partial, so this is uncertain. Its the foreground subject, shown with flower garlands and offerings during a puja-style ceremony.
