A photograph of a seated figure in a reddish-brown robe, heavily garlanded with white jasmine and red flower garlands, receiving a lime from a kneeling man in a white shirt and white dhoti. A bare-chested priest with a rudraksha mala and white dhoti stands at left beside an orange and red draped backdrop. Behind them, two women in white and gold saris and a man in a salmon-pink shirt stand with hands folded. A woven basket holds more limes, a brass kalasha-style vessel sits near the seat, and flower petals are scattered on the floor. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with a person, wearing a long swept-back hair style, garlands and a reddish-brown robe, seated in the central place of honour. Five physical people are visible.
