A long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes sits on a red-cushioned throne decorated with white and multicoloured flower garlands. He reaches out to offer a small sweet or prasadam to a bowing older man in a white shirt and white trousers, who leans forward with cupped hands. Behind the throne stand two attendants: one in orange clothing and one bare-chested with a saffron-orange head cloth. A decorated cake sits on a metal table at left, with a gold ornament and a small brass object on the throne's side. Red and pink flowers lie on the floor, and red drapes hang in the background. The seated figure has distinctive long swept hair, saffron robes and a flower garland, consistent with a person, shown here as the seated figure receiving devotees and offering prasadam.
