A man with long dark hair, wearing a gold-bordered cream dhoti and shawl with a flower garland, sits on a golden throne decorated with yellow and red flower garlands and receives a basket of apples from a young man in orange robes and rudraksha mala who stands behind him. Another man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala stands to the side, and a devotee in white shirt presses palms together in anjali. Foreground figures include a woman with long light hair, a man in a white shirt with hands folded, and a man in white kurta with a yellow shawl. Speakers and a banner are visible in the background. a person status is unsure because the seated man's appearance has some candidate cues but they are not distinctive enough to confirm identity.
