A seated figure in a saffron-orange shawl over a bare shoulder, with a rudraksha mala of beads around the neck and a red-and-gold ceremonial seat behind, reaches to offer a handful of yellow rice to a man in a pink kurta with an orange lanyard and a red headband. Silver bowls of yellow rice sit on a white-covered table, with a steel pot nearby. Behind them, several people in white dhotis with gold borders and red sashes stand near a red sofa. The seated figure has a distinctive ceremonial appearance, but the identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so the person is described by role as the seated figure offering food.
