A seated man in a red-orange robe and a gold necklace of beads sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, offering food from his right hand. He has a red bindi and holds a bowl of cooked rice. In front of him, a silver bowl of rice rests on a green banana leaf with two silver spoons. A second man, shaved-headed with white forehead markings and wearing an orange robe and beaded necklace, kneels and holds out his cupped hands to receive the food. A white fan stands behind them, and a small plastic water bottle sits at the right edge. The setting suggests a ritual food offering.
