A seated figure in an orange-red turban and matching rust-orange garment sits on a red throne with a gold lion-head armrest, wearing a thick red and white flower garland with green limes, gold bangles and a gold waist sash. The figure smiles and extends a hand to a bowl of bananas and fruit on a silver tray held by a bald, bearded man in peach-coloured clothing who kneels before the throne. A woman in an orange sari with a rudraksha mala stands behind, and a woman with hair tied back kneels at the right edge. Garlands of marigolds and roses drape the background, with a brass lamp at right. Readable copyright and source text overlays the lower right. Appearance-based cues on the seated figure are a turban, garlanded throne and ornamental gold, consistent with a person receiving offerings from a devotee.
