A seated man in a rust-red dhoti and wrap, with a pink flower garland, gold necklaces and orange-red bangles, sits before a silver tray holding white flowers, fruit and small offerings, which he holds and gestures toward a woman in a dark patterned top. A red vermilion mark is on his forehead and a tulsi-like bead strand is visible. Behind him are bronze statues including a Nandi bull, a bronze figure and a tall brass lamp stand against a red wall. Two people are partly visible in the foreground, one in white with a gold garland. The man wears a shawl, which counts as clothing, and his hair is long and swept back, so he matches the a person cues with a ritual role in an ashram setting.
