Two women stand before him: one in a gold-patterned sari with long braided hair, and another in a yellow top, with a white tilak, presenting a purple cloth and offerings.

A carved temple-style backdrop with green foliage and an ornate gold decorative panel completes the scene. The seated figure's distinctive hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala are a person candidate.
