A seated man in a dark maroon robe with a pink-and-white flower garland, a rudraksha mala, and a vertical tilak on his forehead sits on a red cushioned throne with ornate gold carved panels, smiling as he reaches out to take bananas from a large brass bowl. Two young attendants in orange dhotis and white beaded necklaces stand behind, one holding the bowl. In the foreground an older man with grey hair, glasses and a bare back kneels with his palms extended toward the offering, wearing a white sacred thread and a rudraksha mala. The setting appears to be a ritual offering or darshan with banana fruit offerings.
