A seated person with long dark hair, a white ash-and-kumkum forehead marking, a white-and-red jasmine garland, gold bangles and an orange-brown cloth smiles while accepting a small offering from a person in a white garland standing at right. Behind them, a seated figure in orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits beside an ornate golden throne draped with colourful flower garlands and a pink cloth. A carved, painted deity figure holding a staff stands at left in a richly decorated shrine room with a gold arch, and brass lamps and offering plates lie on the white floor. The scene suggests a devotional ritual exchange within a temple-like hall.
