A padapuja scene: a dark hand pours water over the bare foot of a seated figure in orange robes, who wears a garland of pink and white lotus-like flowers. Beside the foot, a silver tray holds gold-coloured bells or ornaments mixed with red flowers, and a second person in white sleeves reaches in from the right with a hand near the tray. A red cloth covers the seat, and a gold-framed throne stands behind. Only hands and feet of the people are visible, so the count is limited to the two partly shown people.

A hand with gold bangles touches the foot, and the tray holds red rose petals, white flowers and gold-toned rudraksha-style beads and ornaments.
