Close photograph of a seated figure draped in orange saffron cloth with gold border, wearing a garland of green leaves and pink flowers across the chest. Seated on a red cushioned seat with ornate gold carved throne base. In the foreground, a hand in white sleeve pours or offers from a gold cup into a silver-toned tray containing pink flowers, green leaves and small brass items; another hand is partly visible at the right edge. The figure's face is not visible, so no identification is made.
