A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate silver throne, wearing a red-maroon and orange draped garment, a rudraksha mala and layered gold necklaces, bangles and a gold armband, with vibhuti marks on the forehead. He extends an apple toward two young men in white shirts with red shawls and pink-and-white flower garlands who kneel before him with folded hands, a ritual offering. Behind the throne a standing attendant in orange robes holds a silver trident and a small drum-like object, with a rudraksha mala. An older man in a white shirt and dhoti stands at left. Petals lie scattered on the floor and a plate of fruit sits at lower right. The room has lavender walls and a wooden cabinet. The figure on the throne matches the appearance cues of a person, a devotee receiving pada puja.
