Seated on a folding chair, the figure has an arm extended while a man in a white kurta, with a lanyard, bends forward and touches the feet in a padapuja-style devotional gesture. Behind them, more people in white clothes and orange shawls stand and sit among piled orange fabric; a small child in a yellow top is at the right edge. Cues match the a person description: long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha and gold necklace, with the seated figure receiving devotion.
