A seated figure on a red cushioned throne with a carved gold lion-head armrest wears a rust-red garment with gold border, a white vibhuti forehead mark, a white flower garland and gold bangles, and holds up a sheet of paper while accepting an apple from a kneeling man in white with a rudraksha mala. A tray of apples, oranges, bananas and other fruit sits in front. Behind, a woman in a white dress with a dark wrap and rudraksha mala holds a garland, and women in white and cream saris stand near a decorated altar with marigold garlands, banana leaves and brass vessels. The seated figure has a presentation consistent with a person, with a white forehead mark, a flower garland and rust-red robe as qualifying cues, though appearance alone leaves identity uncertain.
