A seated figure in a maroon garment with a long red-and-white flower garland and a black braid is handing small red fruits to devotees at an indoor event. Behind him a white table fan and red curtains are visible. A woman in a white sari with a black beaded necklace and a kneeling woman in white receive the fruit, while a bald man in a white shirt leans forward with his hands extended. Standing behind them are a woman in a purple shawl over an orange blouse with hands folded, and several women in white and orange saris. The seated figure's appearance shows some cues such as the long hair and garland, but the image does not clearly establish identity, so this is a seated devotee-receiving-fruit scene described by role. A gold-coloured statue or ornament edge is visible at lower left.
