A seated man in a saffron-orange turban and matching saffron-orange robe sits on an ornate silver throne draped with a leopard-print cloth, a garland of yellow and white flowers around his neck and a rudraksha mala on his arm. He holds a long rope-like ceremonial cord that a kneeling woman in a rust-red sari also grips; she has a tilak on her forehead, a beaded necklace and bangles and is smiling. Behind them hang string lights and a red curtain with ornate embroidered panels. A silver stand and a silver pot sit nearby.
