A seated man in an orange-saffron robe sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved golden backrest and yellow-and-pink flower garlands. He wears a rudraksha-style neck piece and holds small red fruit in both hands, with a red cushion at his feet. Four people attend him: a young man in orange robes on the left reaching out with an offering, a man in a white shirt and grey trousers leaning in and gesturing, a woman in a green-yellow sari offering a plate, and a young woman in a white sari with a red border on the right holding a tray. White flower garlands drape the gold base and a brick-patterned backdrop sits behind them.
