A seated man in a red-maroon cloth with a long gold necklace and multi-colored flower garland sits on an ornate gold throne carved with lion heads and draped with a tiger-striped cloth. He reaches toward a bundle of red-orange beaded garlands held by a woman in a white sari with a rudraksha mala. To the left, a man in white dhoti with a rudraksha mala stands beside the throne. A silver table with a kalasha-style vessel and an orange-gold cloth in front suggest a ritual setting, possibly a pushpabhishekam or padapuja.
