A seated man in a rust-red turban with a gold brooch and a white and multicoloured flower garland is smiling as he hands a small gold object to a kneeling man in a white dhoti with an orange shawl and bare upper body. A woman in an orange sari and rudraksha mala stands behind them, and ornate red and gold cloth hangs in the background. The seated figure wears gold bangles and a rust-red sash, and the scene looks like a ritual exchange in a decorated hall. The seated man has long hair and distinctive ceremonial adornments, so this is a person in person, with the kneeling man as a devotee.
