A seated figure in a red-orange robe with a dark rudraksha mala and bangles extends a red apple toward a bare-chested man in a white tank top and checked lungi who holds out his hands to receive it. Around them, a woman in a blue sari with a red border holds an orange fruit and a man in white dhoti and shirt wears a white and red flower garland and holds an orange fruit. Other devotees in orange and red saris and saffron robes stand behind, and the group sits on a colourful striped mat in a hall. The scene appears to be a fruit offering during a visit with devotees.
