In the foreground a man in a rust-orange and gold dhoti-style garment with a thick gold-and-rudraksha style garland and a large gold pendant smiles broadly and extends his hand toward a woman in a teal and white striped blouse who holds a framed photograph. Nearby, a woman in a white sari with a black mala and a woman in white cloth stand among devotees in white and orange clothing. A red-and-white banner blurred in the background and a tray of apples and fruit appear at the lower right. The man has long swept-back hair, gold armlets and a gold necklace, but his face is not identifiable from appearance here and no printed name tags him in the scene.
