A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe and a long white and orange flower garland sits on a white-covered sofa in a room with red and lime-green curtains. A rudraksha mala hangs at the chest and the figure's hair is long and swept back. A man in white ritual clothes kneels on the carpet, bending forward to touch the seated person's feet, while a standing attendant in orange-saffron cloth with a gold necklace and a round fan-like headpiece holds a position beside him. A cushion and a beige armchair sit at the left edge.
