Photograph of a seated figure in a red-brown saffron-toned robe with a gold-and-white garland of beads and a red bangle-like band on the upper arm, sitting on a red zebra-patterned chair beside a large gold lion-headed armrest. A man in a lavender checked shirt kneels at right, offering bananas on a plate to the seated figure, who reaches out to accept them. Behind them a woman in a rust-orange robe with a long beaded mala stands beside a silver trident, while women in white and cream saris stand nearby. A gold deity murti sits in the lower left foreground, and bamboo-style red curtains and a gold ornate panel form the backdrop.
