The figure wears gold bangles and a dark beaded bracelet, and bare feet are visible at lower right. A younger man in orange-trimmed white clothing, with a rudraksha mala around his neck, kneels at left, extending both hands to receive a small gold-coloured packet or card from the seated figure's hand. Behind them stand additional robed attendants, one holding a wooden implement, against a deep red curtain and an ornate gold panel. The figure's appearance is uncertain, so the seated person is described by role only.2016-09-28Close-up photograph of two pairs of hands clasped together, one set wearing a gold ring and layered gold and beaded bangles over saffron-orange clothing, the other set wearing a red thread bracelet and a brown beaded mala wrist.
