A man in a white shirt and dhoti stands at center, applying or placing a white flower garland over the head of a person in red clothing, while a man in white dhoti in the left foreground holds his hands together in namaskar.

The orange-robed figure is not clearly identifiable from appearance, so the a person field is unsure.
