A seated man in a red-maroon turban and saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala and layered gold necklaces wears a green-and-yellow lime garland. He is seated on an ornate gold throne-like chair and smiles while accepting a yellow fruit held out by a young man in a yellow-and-white striped polo shirt who bends toward him. Behind them a standing attendant in red-maroon and gold robes with a large gold necklace clasps his hands, and a brass lamp stand and gilded panels frame the scene. The setting suggests a ritual offering in a temple-style hall.
