A photo of a seated man on a gold-and-red throne receiving food offerings during a ritual. He wears a rust-red robe, multiple gold necklaces and gold armlets, with white tilak marks on his forehead, and he reaches out to take rice from a silver bowl set on a green leaf. Beside him, a younger attendant in orange robes and rudraksha malas, with a gold-bordered orange cloth and wrist threads, holds food offerings in his hands. Behind them stand a gold trident and a gold oil lamp stand, with a red curtain and a white cooler in the background. Two prominent people appear in this scene, and the seated man matches the appearance cues of a person, shown performing a food-offering ritual for the Maheshwara Puja.
