A seated man with a white and red forehead marking and rudraksha mala beads and gold necklaces sits on an ornate gold throne, wearing a pink-maroon garment with a rust-coloured shawl draped over his lap. Two young attendants in red-orange robes stand before him; one holds a silver bowl filled with yellow flower petals or turmeric-coloured offerings on a green cloth, and the other tends the offering beside him. A boy in an orange top sits at left and another attendant in red stands at right. The setting is an indoor hall with bamboo-style screens behind the throne.
