A seated figure in an orange-saffron turban and orange robe, wearing a multi-strand garland of pink, red, orange and white flowers, extends his arm to drape a red cloth with printed script over the bowed head of an older man in the lower left. Beside him stand a golden trident, a golden deity murti on a throne, and a red-draped golden throne with carved panels. Behind them, white-clad attendants wear rudraksha malas and a red-tinted tilak; a tripod-mounted video camera stands at the back. The scene appears to be a blessing or shawl-offering moment at a red-backdropped stage.
