A seated man in an orange turban, orange-and-maroon silk shawl with gold border and a brown dhoti, stands at the right near a gold throne with red cushions, holding a pink printed sheet and smiling; a garland with green and blue ribbons hangs from his neck. Centre, an older bearded man with a grey head and white dhoti with an orange-and-gold shawl holds a yellow cloth tray with fruit and papers offered toward him. At left, a young man with bare upper body marked with white ashes stands in a white dhoti with a blue cloth over one shoulder. A gilded deity figure with a crown stands in the background, and a red patterned rug covers the floor.
