A seated person in a maroon-and-gold sari-style robe with a multicoloured garland of yellow and red flowers and gold ornaments touches the head of a man bending forward in a white shirt, who holds a small brass dish with a yellow offering. Behind them, a man in an orange-brown dhoti with a rudraksha mala stands, and a photographer with a camera and other onlookers are in the background. Wooden floor and yellow walls form the setting. The seated person has long swept-back hair and a gold necklace, but face and appearance are not sufficient for a confident identification.
