A figure on the left wears a red-orange turban, an orange and saffron wrap, a heavy gold necklace and a gold belt; the page flags a person with a turban, saffron clothing and ornate gold adornments, so this person is an appearance-based candidate whose identity is uncertain. The figure extends a red-orange cloth with a woven pattern toward a woman on the right in a red-orange patterned shawl and white sari with green border, who holds her hands cupped to receive it.

Behind them, women in white and red-orange clothing stand, one with a red head covering. A black fan and brass lamps are visible on the left.2015-09-11September 11 20152015-09-11 +1 copies
