A seated person with eyes closed touches their forehead with the right hand, in a flower-decorated setting. They wear a dark maroon-brown garment, layered gold necklaces, a red and green flower garland, gold bangles and an armlet. Behind them is a backdrop of yellow, red, orange and white marigold and rose arrangements, and they sit on red zebra-striped cushions edged with gold-embossed panels. A folded orange towel rests beside them. No ritual objects beyond the garlands are clearly visible.
