A seated figure in an orange-saffron sari draped over the shoulders, wearing a white and purple garland, bangles and a brown rudraksha-style mala, reaches out to press a red fruit against the bald head of a kneeling man in white clothes with a saffron thread. Behind them a golden horse figure with yellow and green draped cloth stands near brass oil lamps (lit) and a standing woman in a cream sari with brown beads. Other people in white ritual clothes stand in the background, and a red kumkum or vibhuti mark is visible on the kneeling devotee's head. The scene looks like a ceremonial blessing or darshan.
