A long-haired figure in a red sleeveless top and orange cloth, wearing a white flower garland and a sandalwood forehead mark, sits on a white-draped seat and extends a hand over a tray. A young man in orange robes sits beside him, with a brass vessel and loose flower petals on a patterned rug. A kneeling woman in a gold-bordered sari bows with her head down toward the petals, while a man in white shirt and white dhoti kneels at right, reaching toward the offering. Several men in white shirts and dhotis stand in the background near a dark wooden doorway, and a woman in a pale sari stands at the right edge. A red beaded curtain hangs at left.
