A man in the foreground wears a brown-and-gold turban with a jeweled brooch, a long pink and white flower garland, gold armlets and a gold necklace over a bare chest, and holds his hands together near a bowl of pink flower petals. Beside him stands a shaved-headed attendant in an orange cloth and rudraksha mala holding a lit oil lamp. Other people in saffron and white stand behind them. The page indicates this event featured a person, but the foreground figure's appearance is not clearly established, so he is described by role only.
