A man in a yellow kurta with pink and green embroidered trim and an orange-red checked turban presses his face against a dense garland of white and orange marigold-style flowers, a devotional gesture of reverence. He wears a folded paper or cloth slip on his forehead. Behind him a green-clad figure and a drum edge are partly visible in a warmly lit hall. The garlands appear to decorate a deity murti or ritual object. One physical person is visible. a person identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so no candidate is asserted.
