A seated man with long dreadlocked hair wound up on his head wears a rust-orange sleeveless garment, a gold ornamental necklace, gold bangles, and a garland of white and pink flower buds. He sits on a red-cushioned throne in front of a large heap of marigold and jasmine garlands, yellow laddu-like sweets, and flower petals. Behind him, garlands of yellow, white, red and green flowers hang against a golden wall. A man in white with a rudraksha mala stands at the left holding a small bowl, and a woman in a dark outfit leans in beside him. The scene resembles a temple offering or abhishekam setting.
