A seated man in a maroon robe sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, wearing a white-and-pink garland, a gold chain and a rudraksha-style necklace, with a sandalwood tilak on his forehead. He touches the bald head of a bare-chested devotee kneeling before him in a white dhoti with a red border, whose back is marked with white ash. To the left, a woman in an orange sari holds a tray of red apples, and to the right a woman in a cream-and-gold sari with a dark beaded necklace holds a wooden tray. A small brass pot sits beside the throne. The prominent maroon-robed seated figure shows distinctive ceremonial cues of a garland, gold necklace and throne, matching the page's reference to a person, but the face and appearance are not clearly enough established to confirm identity.
