A ritual scene under a open-sided canopy. A bare-chested priest in white dhoti with a gold border and a garland of white and pink flowers holds a brass lamp with a flame toward a seated man. The seated man sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, hands pressed together at his face, wearing a saffron-red robe and a white flower garland, with long dark hair and a beard. A bare hand from another person is visible at the right edge. Marigold petals, flowers and a small plate of offerings lie on a striped mat beside a wooden stool with a blue cloth. Possible pooja setting with aarti. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with a saffron-clad, long-haired presentation, but the page does not confirm his identity.
