A seated figure in a rust-red robe on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, wearing a long white and pink garland, a gold pendant necklace and beaded bracelets. The feet are being attended to: a woman in a white sari with a red and gold shawl sits at left, and a person in white at right, both at a platter of flowers. A striped multicolour cloth covers the platform. This looks like a padapuja, but the figure is only partly visible and the robe is not a clear appearance match for an identified person, so the identity is left unsure.

A person's bare feet rest on a red velvet cushion on an ornate gold throne draped with a striped tiger-skin cloth. Devotees gather rose and pink petals, white flowers and marigold-type garlands in a red plate, and a hand reaches down to offer petals to the feet. The person whose feet are shown wears a rust-brown dhoti-style garment with a gold border. Nearby devotees in white kurtas and red and white shawls, one wearing a rudraksha mala, stand on a red carpet.
