A seated figure in a magenta and gold-bordered garment sits on a red and gold cushioned throne, with green leaves at its base. A bald man in a white t-shirt, blue-and-white shorts and a wooden rudraksha mala kneels and bends forward to touch or attend to the seated figure's feet. Another person in white sits in the background. Only the seated figure's lower body and the kneeling man are fully visible, and the setting appears to be a ritual padapuja-style honouring.
