A seated man in a dark turban, red-brown robes and a long rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, eyes lowered, a bindi on his forehead. Facing him, a woman in orange sari-style clothing with a white beaded necklace leans forward, offering a large metal plate of yellow rice to him, with a steel bowl nearby. Red floor cushions and bamboo screens fill the background. The identity of the seated man is uncertain from appearance alone, so he is described by role as the one receiving the offering.
