A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a long gold bead necklace, with white sacred ash on his forehead and arms and a red bindi, pours a mixture of grated white and chopped ingredients from his hands onto a deity murti or ritual object in a gold-framed tray filled with milky liquid. A brass plate of the same mixture sits at left, brass pots stand at right, and devotees in white dhotis and a man in a yellow shawl stand nearby. The man's appearance (long swept-back hair, saffron robes, ornate gold beads) gives several cues, but the page does not clearly confirm his identity from the image alone.
