A bare-chested older man with grey beard and swept-back hair, on the left, looks toward a seated figure in a maroon-brown robe with a rust-red turban, bangles and a long garland of white jasmine, marigold and pink flowers with a gold-ornamented necklace. The seated figure raises one arm to hold up a white flower garland. Behind them are red velvet cushions, marigold strands, a yellow and orange canopy, and a pink banner with a woman's face. Onlookers stand in the background among trees and a utility pole.
