A seated man with long dreadlocks and a short beard wears a draped saffron-red robe and sits on a leopard-print cushioned seat in front of an ornate gold-and-silver throne backdrop. He bends forward and places his hands on a stack of wooden boxes covered with a green and gold cloth, while a young woman in a green dupatta over a maroon blouse, with a red bead necklace and dreadlocked hair, reaches in from the right to hand over or receive the boxes. Behind them a large illustrated deity image with a spear or staff is projected on a screen. The man's appearance, with dreadlocks, saffron robes and ceremonial setting, is a probable match for a person, but the identification rests on appearance only and is uncertain. The scene suggests a stage ceremony or darshan.
