A seated man in a maroon-red robe and white floral garland sits on a large gold-and-red throne beneath an ornate multicoloured canopy with tassels, under a light roofed pavilion. Three people attend him: a bare-chested man in white dhoti with a yellow border, holding a small vessel and bending to offer a ritual, a woman in a green sari with a white floral garland, and a bare-chested man on the right holding a plate and offering. The seated figure has a red-and-white tilak and a long garland of white and pink flowers, with pink flower offerings at the base of the throne. a person appearance cues are not clearly sufficient; the seated man is shown with a shaved-to-short hairstyle and no crown or saffron, so his identity is unsure.
