A seated man with long dark hair, wearing an orange shawl over bare shoulders and a small red tilak on his forehead, smiles while two men in white garments bend to place a long garland of white flowers, red roses and green leaves around him. He sits on an orange-cushioned chair in front of a gold-finished altar with brass lamps, a bowl, a kalasha-style vessel and a white statue draped in orange garments and a flower garland. A bald man in white with an orange scarf stands at left, and a red-and-yellow cloth hangs behind the altar. The seated man's identity is not established by visible cues alone, so he is described by role only.
