A life-size printed cutout or poster of a smiling figure in saffron-orange turban, ornate orange shawl with gold border, multiple white pearl and white-and-red flower garlands, and bangles, seated before a plain white wall. Three women in orange and pink saris stand before it; one in orange with hands joined in namaskar, another bending forward offering a gold thali with lamps, bananas, mango, rice, coconut, and small steel bowls of food, with a lit oil lamp and marigold garlands on the cloth. The scene suggests a devotional offering arranged for the figure, with no clear identification of the printed figure beyond its appearance.
