A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe and a red turban, wearing a long gold necklace and a garland of multicoloured flowers, sits on a red-cushioned throne-like chair under a pink tent canopy. A devotee in white with a gold-bordered sari bends forward to touch the feet, while an attendant in white with a gold-edged cloth and a red-and-gold wrap kneels beside a tray of fruit and offerings. Behind them a man in white with a rudraksha-style necklace and a woman in white with a red-and-green border stand near a golden ornate chair and an umbrella. The setting suggests a padapuja ritual in a tent.
