Behind it, a seated figure in a rust-red robe and an orange-beaded garland with white bead accents presses palms together in namaste, with a white tilak on the forehead, long dark hair and a beaded wristband. The image is a printed photograph on a dark background, with a gold ornate carving at upper left. This appears to be a pada-puja offering of flowers.
