The seated figure wears a red-orange turban, a red-orange cloth, and a garland of marigold-yellow and red flowers, and raises one hand in blessing. A second seated figure in a white turban and white cloth sits in the foreground beside a tray of red apples. Behind them, a man in white kurta and a standing man in white dhoti with a sacred thread stand near an ornate golden throne-like seat.
