A seated man in a cream and white embroidered garment and red floral garlands receives honours on a red and gold chair. A man in a pink shirt and light trousers bends forward to place a garland and touch his forehead, while a woman in a yellow sari with a gold chain and a woman in red-orange sari stand by and assist. Behind them are orange and white clothed attendees, a blue-saried woman, plates of fruit and offerings on an orange cloth, a decorated pillar, and a wall air conditioner. The seated man's face bears yellow paste; the appearance does not clearly establish a candidate identity from the cues listed, so the a person field is unsure.
