A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a gold necklace and dark hair tied in a bun receives an apple-like red fruit from a young girl in an orange-and-peach dress, who is holding a small child in white. On the right, a golden throne is decorated with yellow, pink and red flower garlands. Behind them a woman in a white sari with a green border and a man in white stand watching. A gold ritual lamp stand appears in the foreground. The scene looks like a darshan or pada puja with offerings. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears saffron robes, a gold necklace and long swept-back hair, cues consistent with the page's claim.
