A man in a white shirt and white dhoti drapes a long green-bead garland over a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with carved scrollwork. The seated figure wears a rust-orange robe and orange headwrap, with a heavy gold chain around the neck. Behind them, a gold trident stands upright against a dark red backdrop with faded figures, and a second robed attendant in orange stands further back. On the right, a woman in a white sari with a gold border and gold necklaces stands beside the throne. Brass lamps and small ritual objects are visible on the right, and the setting appears to be a ceremonial hall.
