A seated figure on a red zebra-striped cushioned throne with an ornate gold backrest hands small printed cards to a kneeling young man. The seated figure wears an orange-red turban, saffron-orange robes with gold trim, and a large garland of orange marigolds, green leaves, white flowers and red beads. A kneeling man in white kurta with black-rimmed glasses, a rudraksha mala and white forehead marking receives the cards with cupped hands and has an ID badge on his chest. Behind them a young attendant in white dhoti with gold border and rudraksha necklace stands near a golden lion-head ornament, a banana-leaf decoration and a red-and-gold hanging. Several people in white stand in the dim background at night. Orange and red fabrics, gold ornaments and marigold garlands dominate the scene.
