Close-up of a ceremonial scene: two pairs of hands, one wearing a dark red-maroon garment edged with gold border, rest on or near a round red velvet cushion set atop an ornate silver-finished stool with carved floral motifs and clawed feet. A pale off-white dhoti with yellow-gold and green borders is visible at left, and a patterned cloth covers the floor. A silver vessel sits near the hands. Only hands, legs and feet are visible; no face is shown, so no person can be identified.

A shirtless man in white dhoti bends forward, his palms pressed to the foot of a seated figure in a rust-red garment with gold border, resting on an ornate silver footstool atop a red carpet. Behind, a silver stand with a tiered base and a red and green garland hangs near the seated figure. Ornate silver furniture is at right, and a leopard-print garment is partly visible at upper right.
