A seated man on an ornate gold throne with leopard-print cushions and gold lion-head armrests receives an offering of folded papers from a devotee in white dhoti and shirt. The seated man wears a red-orange robe and a long garland of white and pink flowers, with a dark beaded mala at his chest. Two attendants stand behind: one bare-chested with an armband and bracelets, another in an orange cloth with white forehead markings. Brass oil lamps and a dark green foliage backdrop complete the stage setting. The seated figure's identity is not established from appearance alone, so no name is asserted.
