Indoor hall with red carpet, white ceiling fans and pink walls, where a long-haired figure in an orange-red robe and red top stands at left with hands extended toward a man in a brown-and-white checked shirt and dark trousers who holds up a long garland of yellow and green flowers. A woman in a cream sari with a red border stands beside him. Another man in a striped shirt carries a brass tray at right, and a brass plate of fruit and flower arrangements sits on the floor near white-draped tables with a small kalasha-style vessel decorated with white flowers. The figure's appearance is a candidate for a person, but it is uncertain; the long hair and orange-saffron clothing are visible cues.
