A bearded man in a maroon turban adorned with a jeweled gold ornament and crescent-shaped headpiece stands with eyes closed and a faint smile, holding a bundle of green leaves tied with white cloth. He wears heavy gold necklaces, bangles and a red-and-pink rose garland with white pearl strands draped over his shoulders, and a red tilak marks his forehead. A dried palm frond rises at the left edge and an offering tray is partly visible at the lower right. The background is plain white sky. Several cues suggest a person presence, though appearance alone is not fully conclusive.
