A standing man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, wearing a red rudraksha mala and a saffron turban, stands on a raised dais in front of a gilded throne with red cushions and a tiger-skin rug. He reaches to accept a white paper envelope with a printed tree logo from an older man in a white striped kurta and white trousers, who bows slightly. Behind them a man in white dhoti with gold border stands, and along the right women in saffron-orange saris and rudraksha malas sit with folded hands. Arched panels with colourful tassels and flower garlands frame the stage, and a white air conditioner sits at right. Whether the standing saffron-clad man is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.
