A seated figure on a gilded throne with a tiger-skin cushion, garlanded with white and yellow flowers and wearing orange cloth, receives an offering from a woman in a lavender and pink silk sari with gold border, who holds a brass plate. Around the throne, women in orange and maroon saris and rudraksha malas sit or stand, and a man in white dhoti with an orange shawl and rudraksha mala stands at left. Golden deity murti pillars with crowns flank the throne, and a brass lamp and fruit and flower offerings are in the foreground. The seated figure's appearance matches the page's reference to a person with several cues, including garlands and orange clothing, so this is a probable identification by appearance.
