A seated man in an orange-red turban and orange-red robe sits on an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushions, palms pressed together in namaskar before him. A woman in an orange sari with a flower garland stands to the left holding a brass kalasha with a green leaf, while another woman in a yellow blouse and teal skirt holds a tray of white flowers. A red curtain hangs above, with a backdrop of a glowing temple and red sky. A throne and being honoured with a kalasha are visible, but the seated man's appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so role-based description is used.
