A seated woman in red and gold saffron-toned robes with a gold and beaded necklace and garlands sits on an ornate silver throne under a fringed canopy, receiving a yellow cloth held by an older man in white kurta and dhoti who bows with his face near the cloth. Beside them a woman in white with a red shawl stands with palms pressed together in namaste. Marigold garlands hang on a patterned draped backdrop, with a red carpet on the floor and other people in white in the background. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person but is not clear enough to confirm, so identity is unsure.
