A seated man in saffron-orange robes wears a white and maroon garland and a red bindi, sitting on an ornate gold throne with red cushions. A woman in a pale peach sari with a white flower braid offers a fruit toward him while a man in a white shirt and grey trousers reaches in from the right. Behind them is a backdrop of yellow, orange and red flowers with gold drapery, and a figure in orange clothing appears at the left edge. The scene suggests a darshan or pada-pooja style honouring. The man on the throne has long hair and saffron robes with a distinctive garland; appearance alone is not enough to confirm identity, so he is described by role.
