A man seated on an ornate gold throne with a cobra-hood canopy wears a rust-red turban, rust-red robe and rudraksha-style beads, with long hair swept back, and gestures toward a tray of apples.

Behind, a man in orange robe with gold chain stands, and a bare-chested attendant in white dhoti with gold chain stands at right.
