Two men in white dhoti-style ritual clothing stand before a richly decorated golden shrine backdrop with a golden murti in the right foreground. The man on the left wears an orange-red and gold turban and rudraksha malas on his neck and arms, and places a white and orange flower garland around the neck of the second man, who wears a red and gold turban and bows his head forward. Gold-framed velvet and ornate silver-and-gold panels surround them, with red and orange marigold garlands hanging nearby. The scene appears to be a garlanding or honouring ceremony at a temple setting. Two physical people are visible.
