A seated figure on a red-and-gold throne with a red-patterned cushion places a hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt, a blessing gesture. The seated figure wears a rust-orange wrap with gold trim, gold armbands, a gold necklace, and a white horizontal tilak on the forehead, with a leopard-print skirt visible. Behind them a golden deity murti stands beside a tall trident-topped decoration wrapped in pink roses and white flowers. A woman in white with a rust-orange garland and rudraksha mala stands at the right watching. Bananas are held in the foreground. The backdrop shows a red and gold painted panel.
