A man in a rust-red turban with a gold crown ornament, long dark hair, gold armlets and a rust-coloured dhoti and shawl stands at right, arranging a long garland of yellow, red and white marigold-style flowers draped over a gold-coloured deity murti. Behind him stands a second person in rust-orange clothing with long hair. The gold deity figure has raised hands and wears a rich garland, with a gold kalasha-like vessel and a lit oil lamp at right.
