A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a long white flower garland sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, hands folded, eyes lowered, in a temple-like hall with gold pillars and orange drapery. Before him, several people sit on an orange cloth on the floor: a young woman in a cream sari with a yellow shawl, men in white dhotis with yellow shawls, and a woman in a white sari, some reaching toward a gold stool holding offerings. In the foreground are brass vessels, a red mat, fruit, marigold and rose petals, and folded orange cloths. A deity murti stands in a shrine behind. Seven people are visible. The seated man in orange, a long white garland and an ornate gold throne, matching the page's a person reference, is an appearance-based probable candidate with distinctive saffron clothing and garland cues.
