A devotee in white dhoti with bare torso bends to touch his feet, while a woman in white sari leans in from the right and another in orange blouse stands at the right edge.

Before him a man kneels on a white tiled floor, wearing a white dhoti with maroon border, a gold-beaded necklace, and holding an orange cloth. Behind them a bald man in orange robes sits near a wall. A microphone on a stand stands in front, and a water bottle sits on a small white side table.
