A man in a light grey-and-white striped shirt stands at left, reaching up to place a large garland of white flowers and red roses with gold beads over the shoulders of a seated figure. The seated figure wears a red-orange turban and a red-orange cloth, sits on a gold-and-cream throne with a gold lion carving at right, and smiles. Behind the throne, a floral backdrop of marigolds in yellow, red, orange and green fills the frame. At left, an older woman in white with a red-beaded necklace watches, and a bare-chested man with white ash markings stands in the background. A brass vessel sits on the red carpet at lower left.

A seated figure in a deep red turban and matching red-brown robes receives a garland of white, red, orange and purple flower strands placed over the head by an older man in a white checked short-sleeved shirt and wristwatch. The seated figure wears a gold bangle and sits on a red velvet-covered seat before a gilded carved backdrop with lion figures and a painted deity panel. A woman in a white sari stands behind, with another figure in orange and cream at the right edge. The scene appears to be a garlanding ceremony in a temple-style hall. Candidate for a person: the seated figure wears a red turban, rich robes, garlands and a gold bangle, but the face is not clearly visible, so the identity is uncertain.2015-08-09A photograph of a seated figure in a golden throne decorated with yellow and red flower garlands.

Behind the throne stands a large display of yellow marigolds and red flowers, and a golden lion-shaped figure rests at the throne's base. A woman in white with a red bindi and a man in white with a tilak stand at left, watching.
