Indoor ceremonial scene in a hall with colourful striped hanging tassels. In the centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair, a gold necklace and a white shawl over his bare upper body receives a red fruit from a shaven-headed monk in a maroon robe with folded hands. Around them, devotees in white dhotis, a man in a brown vest and glasses with palms pressed together, and a monk in an orange robe with a beaded necklace stand nearby. A tray with gold-coloured items and a bundle wrapped in red and blue cloth sit in front. The visible cues on the central man, including long hair, gold ornaments and white shawl, suggest a probable identification, but the uncertainty is noted.
