A man in a blue-and-white striped polo shirt and light trousers stands bending forward and places a marigold garland over the head of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with an orange turban and a long dark braid. The seated figure sits on a leopard-print cushioned seat in front of a gold ornate throne, with a red cushion and a gold carved chair behind. On the low table are a tray of red apples, a brass kalasha-like vessel, and a small trident. A gold-plated bull figure (nandi) is at left, and a second person in orange stands in the background near a framed picture. The scene suggests a devotee offering a garland in an ashram room.
