A smiling man seated on a flower-decorated throne receives fruit from a priest in white dhoti with a yellow border and white forehead markings. The seated figure wears a white turban, a leopard-print shawl over a cream silk kurta with gold zari, and a long gold bead necklace; long dark hair falls past his shoulders. An orange cloth and red cushions rest beside him, with garlands of marigolds and red flowers and green leaves around the seat. Behind him stands a glowing golden ornamental backdrop. A tray of fruit and a metal plate of offerings sit in the foreground. Another white-clad attendant is visible at the left edge.
