In the foreground, a man in an orange-and-cream checked shirt stands with eyes closed and his right arm extended, while a figure in white with a pale turquoise turban and a red-orange flower garland faces him, one hand raised to his forehead. Behind them, seated and standing attendees in white and red clothing fill the hall, and a red cloth covers a floor area. The figure in white is a presiding person giving blessing; no clear appearance-based cues establish identity, so the candidate is treated as uncertain.
