Indoor temple-hall scene with a large ornate decorated throne-like seat at centre, its back covered in embroidered red, green and gold patterns. A bare-chested man with long dark hair wrapped in a dark turban, wearing an orange cloth and a flower garland, stands with hands joined in front of the seat. Beside him, a bearded man in white dhoti and a rudraksha mala stands in front of a woman in orange robes, seen from behind. Hanging marigold and purple flower garlands line the back wall, with colourful striped pillar decorations, a leopard-print cushion and a silver elephant figure nearby. Two white fans sit on the floor and a woman with a red headscarf is seated at the left edge.
