A thulabharam-style ceremony on a draped stage with red curtains and garlands of red, yellow and white flowers. A man with a gold crown and gold armbands, wearing a rust-brown dhoti and a floral garland, sits on the left seat of a golden swing frame; a bearded man with a gold crown and several gold necklaces, wearing a brown cloth and a multi-strand flower garland, is the seated figure. In the centre, a barefoot man in a white dhoti with gold border and bare upper body, with long matted hair and rudraksha beads, bends toward a heap of gold-patterned bundles. On the right, a man in saffron orange robes and an orange headwrap stands beside a second garlanded swing. The scene is decorated with a gold-framed pole, hanging tassels and a patterned rug.
