A seated figure on the left wears a deep maroon robe, has long matted dreadlocks, a rudraksha-style beaded necklace with gold ornaments, and a white forehead mark, and extends his right hand over a silver plate of green leaves and small bowls.

An orange cloth lies on the left and a standing fan stands at the edge.
