A seated figure in an orange saffron robe with long, swept-back dark hair and a garland of yellow flowers and a multicoloured flower-bead garland reaches forward, placing a hand over a red-and-white offering vessel held by a woman in white sari with gold border and a gold-trimmed blouse who kneels with head bowed. Beside her, a man in a white shirt and eyeglasses kneels with palms pressed together in namaste. Behind them, rows of seated and standing devotees in white, including women in white saris and a woman in a yellow shawl wearing rudraksha-style beads, watch the ritual in a hall with a purple wall and a red cloth on the floor.
