A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet cushion receives a white cloth-covered offering on a metal plate from a bare-chested kneeling man in a red-and-gold dhoti and red turban. The seated person wears a red-and-gold turban, an orange-and-gold shawl, a long beaded necklace and gold bangles. Behind them, a man in a red-and-gold dhoti with a shaved head and orange tilak presses palms together, and a bespectacled man with rudraksha beads and a shawl also stands with palms joined. A woman in white with a rudraksha mala and folded hands stands at the right. Red draped fabric, a gold trident and a gilded pillar form the backdrop, with apples and a tray on a low table in front, and a painted deity panel above left.
