Before him on the floor, several devotees sit in prayer: a man in white with glasses at left, a woman in a lavender-and-white sari with her hands folded, an older woman in a red sari with a folded-hands gesture, and a younger woman in white and yellow in the background. Brass trays hold small oil lamps and offerings, and a wooden side table holds a bowl of apples. Red draped fabric and a pillar decorate the room.
