A seated man in a rust-orange robe with a rudraksha mala and a white vibhuti mark on his forehead sits on a gold-carved throne draped with a red cushion and a tiger-striped cloth. He extends his hand toward a tall terracotta pot with white painted patterns, held by a woman in a white sari with a saffron shawl. A second woman in a white sari, seen from behind, sits nearby. A silver trident stands behind the pot among green potted plants, and a yellow satin backdrop with gold-decorated ornaments appears behind them. The scene looks like a ritual offering or darshan.
