A stage event with a red and gold ornate backdrop. On the right, a figure in a white dhoti and sash with long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and bangles extends his arm toward a man in a maroon kurta holding a maroon folder. Beside him stands a person in an orange sari with gold border, wearing a dark eye covering and bangles, holding a mala. Two men at left, one in a grey striped polo and one in a green shirt, watch. A dark eye covering is held in the foreground. The scene appears to be a formal exchange or blessing on stage. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable from appearance, so role descriptions are used.
