Ceremonial temple scene before an ornate gold throne-like backdrop draped with red and white flower garlands. A bearded man in a rust-red robe with a bare shoulder sits at right, a white vibhuti mark on his forehead and long hair swept back, his eyes closed in a serene expression. Two attendants stand at left in white dhotis with yellow borders, one with his hair in a tall topknot and bare torso marked with white paste, holding a folded white paper. A kneeling devotee with a shaved head and white cloth draped over his shoulder bends forward in front of the seated figure. The scene suggests a puja or darshan ritual, with the white paper being offered or handled during the ceremony.
