A seated figure in a rust-red robe is being honoured in a room draped with red, maroon and orange fabric. He wears a tall white and green headdress and heavy garlands of red roses, marigolds and jasmine strands, with green leaves across his shoulders. A man in a red shirt and a man in a white dhoti pour or sprinkle flowers and leaves over his head, while a woman in a maroon sari smiles nearby. Baskets of marigolds, mango-like fruit and green leaves sit in the foreground, and a wooden box with offerings and small packets lies to the right. Several onlookers, including a bespectacled person in front, watch closely. The setting suggests a welcoming or puja-style reception.
