A seated man in a rust-brown robe with a matching turban, gold necklaces, bracelets and multiple rudraksha malas sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, smiling as he extends his arm to receive an offering. A woman with wet, dark hair in a white clinging garment kneels and holds out an orange cloth bundle toward him while touching a silver staff he holds. Behind them, white-clad devotees and an orange-robed attendant sit on red steps lined with banana plants under an open sky. A depiction of a wearer of these cues would be ambiguous, so the central figure is labelled by role only; the page's a person flag is not used to identify him.
