A ritual scene in a temple-style hall with painted pillars and a silver throne-like backdrop. A seated man with long dreadlocked hair, white tripundra ash on the forehead, a rust-brown robe, a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace receives yellow flower or turmeric offerings. Before him a young devotee in an orange saffron robe kneels with hands raised, holding yellow petals. A silver bowl and a silver stand with a green leaf sit in front, scattered with yellow petals. An attendant in an orange turban on the left handles a wooden box. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the a person candidate, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
