A photograph of a seated man in a saffron-orange dhoti with a long rudraksha mala and a gold ceremonial necklace, resting on an ornate gold-and-red throne with carved gilded backing. He holds a leaf plate near a woman in a teal sari with gold border who kneels at a serving table of steel vessels with rice and food, a bowl of betel-like green leaves in front. Behind them, a man in white dhoti with a red-and-gold shawl bends forward, and a woman in a white-and-gold Kerala-style sari with a red waist sash and rudraksha stands at right near a red sofa. A blue curtain hangs in the background. Seems to be a food offering or annadan style scene.
