A seated man in ornate red-maroon robes and heavy gold ceremonial necklaces, with long dark hair swept back, bare-armed with rudraksha bracelets, receives an offering from a young attendant. The attendant wears an orange turban and orange cloth, has bead necklaces and white ash markings on the arm, and holds a colourful pink-and-white woven basket with a green leaf. A silver lion figure sits at the lower edge beside a red upholstered chair. The seated man has long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces, and rudraksha bracelets, which are compatible cues for a person presenting a sacred ritual setting; the attendant is a devotee. Two people are visible.
