A seated figure on an ornate gilded throne with red tiger-striped cushions, wearing an orange saffron cloth and a white and red flower garland, palms pressed together in prayer with eyes closed and a red tilak on the forehead. A kneeling woman in a navy striped shawl and a man in white with a rudraksha-style mala pour an offering at the feet, with a lit oil lamp, rose petals, and a silver tray with flowers and fruit in front. Other silver vessels and a banana sit on a white cloth below. A purple logo appears in the lower left corner. The scene looks like a padapuja ritual.
