A long-haired man in a lavender-purple robe and a wooden rudraksha-style mala sits cross-legged on a gold-and-white throne with red cushions, decorated with garlands of white, yellow, red and purple flowers. A woman in a white sari with a gold border stands at right, holding a silver tray or offering vessel and presenting a long ceremonial sword or blade across the seated man's lap. A man in an orange kurta and white dhoti stands at left, arms extended toward the throne. Behind them is a painted backdrop of Earth seen from space above a sunset over water. A brass standing lamp with a flame stands at right, and a seated figure in white is partly visible at the far left. The scene appears to be a ceremonial presentation in a temple or stage setting.
