A seated figure in orange robes with long dark hair and a pink-and-white flower garland sits on a white cloth-covered platform, one hand resting on a stack of folded white towels. Beside him, a woman in an orange-and-maroon sari kneels and receives the towels. On the left, a red tray holds rudraksha malas and red fruits such as apples or pomegranates. Standing at right, a man in a white shirt wears a red beaded mala and gestures with a hand to his chin, and an older woman in a cream sari with a red border watches.
