Outdoor temple-style courtyard with a red carpet strewn with white flower petals, lined by coconut palms and a leafy arch overhead. A line of women in white, pink, green and turquoise saris stands on both sides, many holding brass and silver pots of flowers and leaves, as if receiving a procession. In the background at left, an older man in white dhoti stands near a figure in saffron-orange robes seated on a chair, and another figure in orange appears further right. A yellow-green boundary wall and a purple gate frame the scene.
